Honestly, the Wii U is the best console to buy in 2014 if you already have a PS3 or 360. Personally I've bought a PS4 as well but it's just collecting dust until Infamous Second Son comes out.
The Wii U maybe struggling with third parties for a variety of reasons, but it's fits first party lineup is second to none, and 2014 is going to be a great year for content you can only find on the Wii U.
As for the PS4 and Xbox One, I highly doubt there wi...
I expect 2014 to be a major year for the Wii U with the steady stream of true exclusive content being released.
The Xbox One has the Xbox 360 and the PC to compete with as it exclusives go. Will the Xbox One still continue to sell well after the launch hype, I doubt it. Five hundred dollars is a lot to pay, and only the most hardcore fanboy will be willing to pay that over the 400.00 technically superior PS4.
The Nintendo hate is strong in N4G. For the entire year of 2013 there was barely any advertising for the WiiU, which I believe was due to Nintendo getting stuck with their pants down. Third parties where promising to support the console and Nintendo held off on their software so the third parties could an open marketplace. What Nintendo got instead was rushed, lazy, incomplete ports, delayed or cancelled games and even publishers refusing to release a finished game as in Crysis 3 to the WiiU...
Actually the 360 selling 800k units in November is bad news for the Xbox One. That means 800k people chose not to upgrade. If any doom articles need to be written, they should be for the Xbox One. My wife's friend just returned one because she spotted a PS4, which also begs the question how many Xbox One sales are plan Bs for not being able to find a PS4. Once the launch hype die down will people still be compelled to buy a Xbox One? Seeing how their top marquee paid exclusive Titan Fall...
Whoa whoa whoa slow down with all that logic, you should know that kind of reasoning has no place in a fanboy induced circle jerk.
Govt by far have the high score when it comes to killing. Obama Nobel Peace Prize doesn't seem to deter him from ordering bombs dropped on wedding parties.
Zelda U Q4 2015. I expect the Zelda to truly push the Wii U hardware and to give it that Nintendo polish, it's going to take time. I'm not upset, since Nintendo will release a ton of great software between now and then.
@beastforlifenoob, go play a painting.
I guess EA was right when they said the Wii U couldn't run the Frostbite engine, apparently nothing can.
I bought Deus Ex off Newegg for $22, and can't stop playing it. The Gamepad definitely adds to the experience.
The NNID is far more secure than the competition, but it definitely has it's drawbacks. With digital games there should be a way to share your purchases across your devices. Right now I'm debating whether I want to buy the kids another WiiU without having to purchase every digital game again.
Microsoft and a EA is a perfect partnership. Microsoft loves throwing money around and EA will even let get it in their hair.
So similar except for me; First of the WiiU for pretty much the same reasons, next the PS4 for MGS plus exclusives, then lastly I'm going with the Steambox for multiplats, same price as the Xbox minus the Kinect with better specs and free online.
Until the digital sales are released by Nintendo, these comparisons should be ignored.
After reading the article to get clarity in the post, I could'nt disagree more. I really enjoy gaming and I've been gaming since the Atari days. Now that I'm grown with a family of my own I find myself with far less time to do one of the things I love. Nintendo's content provides those quick gaming sessions, I can even play something like Zenoblade Chronicles with its save anytime feature. Then there is the masterpiece that is SM3DW, I can pick up the Gamepad at anytime and h...
These days analyst seem to be about as accurate as weather men. I hope there isn't someone dumb enough to pay for that analysis.
I think the only people clammering for Nintendo to get out of the console business are trolls and fanboys. Nintendo has a very successful track record without out having to make risky bank breaking bets, and it shows with their confidence.
The Wii U is fine and the only reason Nintendo doom articles are so popular is because everyone likes to take jabs at the champ.
It's no surprise that the PS4 and Xbox One had a successful launch, and frankly I'm happy with their success. Will they be able to maintain their momentum? Who knows from the looks of the sales charts the PS3 and 360 had a really good holiday sales season as well. With so many people still buying into the last gen, how many new buyers outsid...
With the PS4 and Xbox One going with the x86 architecture, there is not going to be much to differentiate them from PC's other than they're not upgradable. Sure the Xbox One and PS4 are going to have great looking games to early on, but PC's will quickly dwarf them as time move on. No more is there hidden potential in those systems for developers to figure out that produced gems like The Last of Us and Gears of War. So all you have now is a cheap PC that you have to pay to play on...
WiiU's have been flying off shelves as of late, things are really turning around. Advertising on the Ellen Show was a very smart move by Nintendo to get buzz going to those unaware of the new console.
Targeting families is Nintendo's ace in the hole, my kids love the WiiU so much Of barely have time to play the great single player games on the WiiU. No other platform is so strongly geared towards families, especially those who grew up with Nintendo and now have fam...
