Any of these newer systems can be replaced by Steam Box
... except Wii U and its exclusive content.
You take whatever powerhouse ps4 game, lets say it runs at 60fps at 1080p, do the same on Steam Box .. and the price will drop dramatically.
Xbone and PS4 will look weak compared to Steambox ... and have damn few exclusives that aren't on Steam. That is where it is all going in a year.
Wii U is innovative with exclusive IP and will survive - Xbox and PS4 .... maybe not.
Confirmed at E3,as I recall, but here ... see for yourself ...

Gets worse - they are going to buy it and realize after a year, that there is little software out, and that SteamBox is now available .... to replace the Xbox1 and PS4 consoles.
Not having played any of the Zelda games (other than a little bit of Twighlight Princes - yawn), I found WW (to my surprise) to be WONDERFUL!!
So .... if this is your least favourite, I have a lot to look forward to!
I have a PS3 in addition to the Wii U, but why exactly would I move to a PS4 or Xbox1?
It is possible I will, but I think a year from now when there is enough content to seriously consider doing so, I'll be much better off with Steam.
I will likely have only a Wii U (currently that and an PS3). When PS3 goes, I'll replace it with a PC and Steam.
Really don't see the point of a PS4 or an Xbox1. More $ not to mention it will be a year before they have regular content coming to them
"Lackluster hardware basically.
This could've been solved if Nintendo put a decent sized HDD in the units. When I say decent sized I mean 120gb+. This would've helped alot of developers."
Clearly you don't know what you are talking about. I have 2 TERABYTES. Doesn't impact performance one little bit - it's just storage.
Can't comment on the Japanese game referenced, but I can say that WindWalker's high scores were well deserved. I'm still in the middle of the game and loving it!
I agree with you Gespenst that the second screen makes "little sense" on the PS3 (you at least have one), and "no sense" on Xbox360 smartglass.
However this was designed initially for the Wii U where it does make a lot of sense, as everyone has that second screen.
One item they DIDN'T fix yet, is the ability to password the individual user accounts, although for a year now the system has said this feature is coming.
Downloaded it. Had never played it before, and it is FANTASTIC. My wife is mad at me because of all the time it takes up!
I'm old enough to say this.
I PREFER the e-shop (except for the stupid pricing). I hate the clutter of disks hanging around.
How long has cable tv been around? Does anyone seriously think downloading from the eshop is somehow harder than figuring out how to use the cable remote to download programming?
Some pissant suggesting that older people can't do it and you're buying that discriminatory crap? I'm sure a lot of you p...
Yes, Yes, YES ... Hell YES ... I'll pay $10 for online Tennis!
I'll be picking this up. Loved Tennis, and the ability to play against others is great!
I think Nintendo will pick up a lot of former Wii customers with this, too.
Love Wii Tennis, so I'm picking that up! Add to that the free Wii Fit U for buying the $20 price of a Fit Meter, and that is a done deal too.
Yes ... and WindWalker. Have never played it, but I think ti will be fun to play with my daughter.
Maybe the software drought IS ending?! Now - where is Deus Ex Directors Cut ... for same price as PS3 and PC, thank you!
Are we talking about the same Sony who:
- tried to rootkit me?
- are now charging users a monthly fee to play online (so much for charging too much)
- are taking away used games by tying digital downloads to user, rather than console? (Good luck selling your digital copies)
- that LIED to purchasers of original PS3 when they effectively removed their access to their Linux partition (Other system)?
Really ... I am not really trusting...
Okay, so let me help you out here. Their functional currency is likely the Yen, so the drop in value of the bank accounts (when restated to US) is likely due in large part to currency swings. Ohh .. and a decreasing Yen helps sales.
No accountant I know (and I know MANY), would impute that business is going south based solely on the change in cash balances. No offense, but that just shows a complete lack of understanding. If you want a real answer, read their cash flow ...
They could sell it for $50 (not that I'm suggesting that) by charging the online fees of Xbox and PS4.
Anyone looking at Xbox1 and PS4 should be looking at a PC instead. There is very little reason not to.
"Better Value".
Wii U more 1080p 60fps
Wii U - more exclusive content
Wii U - $150 less
Wii U - no monthly fees to pay for playing online
I don't see that PS4 offers much value at all, particularly at this point where, as a new system, it will have precious little software available.
