Rated W for Wiiboy aka blinded fanboy.
WiiUpgrade isn't next gen. Its an Upgrade to this gens hardware. Wii had supercharged Gamecube hardware overclocked, WiiUpgrade has 360 CPU basically and some slightly newer GPU.
Big difference for the consoles you name besides graphics? I see you're shortsighted. The resolution or graphics in a game aren't the only thing that comes from more raw power. It also gives better physics, more that can be done on a...
Wii U
Rated U for Upgrade
That is why you just softmod that Wii and make it region free yourself...
If Sony doesn't do it, do it yourself!
He was bored of Gears I guess.
I enjoyed Gears 1 MP a lot this gen. Played it for a straight 1 to 1.5 year. That game alone made me pay for XBL.
That time has long gone. Shifted to PS3 with free online and PS+ for a lot of content to play.
Microsoft really needs to step their game up, to make me get on XBL again, probably most chance is on Xbox 8 with some good online launch game again...
Eh no, you're wrong. You know what games are sub 720p?
Games like COD, that weak old shit running the original COD4 engine. Some others that do, are weak ports from 360.
Some 1st party Sony games even run above 720p, although not 1080p. Like GT5.
You are straight lying saying 99% of PS3 games don't run 720p. As the majority runs in 720p.
Underdeliver? You gotta be talking about the weak Wii aka supercharged Gamecube. ...
They will use PS4(K) :P to sell this new tech in their 4KTV's
The same way they pushed BluRay as a standard with the PS3.
With this 4K resolution in mind, we already know that the PS4 will crush the WiiUpgrade in its specs.
Wiiboys always say 'PS4 will be a slight upgrade on PS3, won't be a big step like PS2 to PS3' bla bla bla
This actually proves it'll be a big jump to PS4 and a massive jump from this ge...
I stopped using XBL, as PS+ gives more bang for the bucks.
One thing that kept me at XBL for long was Gears MP and the friendbase I played it with. Also the cross game chat&invite.
But over time it got less important and PSVita showed how PSN CAN pull cross game chat&invite off with the right memory allocation. Too bad PS3 won't get it, but PS4 will.
Sticking with PS+, good thing is, I was a member at launch of the PS+ service too...
Old news is old, this was on N4G daaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyysssss sssssssssssss ago
Now what we haven't seen is a pricedrop in Europe.
The screen + 2 pair of glasses, KZ3 and GT5 for 300 Euro aka something like 375 to 400 USD. Drop that price!
That was a 2 week discount. PS+ is online now for... 3 years or something?
EU and USA are both reasonably wealthy continents. We're not 3rd world like some African country. Why consider income if Sony in its basics deliver the same online service? Well not the same now they give better content to EU, but in the service itself won't cost more to give a subscription to a European or to an American.
Either way. Happy with the content that comes my way to...
USA pays 50 bucks
EU pays 50 Euro (aka 70 USD)
so EU deserves to get better stuff for paying more. We already get facked up the ass for buying a PS3 same price in Euro as Americans get it in USD, games are 60 Euro here too compared to 60 USD.
Can't wait for PS+ love for PSVita coming November!
FIX YOUR CAPSLOCK?
EDIT
above you beat me on a second lol
Not threatened, just being real. WiiUpgrade is Nintendo's upgrade to current gen PS3/360 level.
The Wii was a supercharged Gamecube, it was just overclocked pretty much. If you can't accept the facts, that is not my problem... The only thing new is that bulky tablet one touch controller aka a supersized DS basically.
@ deadfrag
Eh 5 or 6 years new games? First off: as long as this gen 360/PS3 lasts it'll get 3rd party ports from ...
Don't believe the WiiUpgrade 'sold out' marketing of Nintendo...
The first batch for pre order at shops they just locked at some hundreds of thousands ON PURPOSE.
This way, the retailers will make public they are sold out. Sure they are, of the lower than low stock they got from Nintendo.
This way, they try to have the public think 'if its sold out it must be great, I need to get me one'. You'll see at launch day, the...
I don't know why it never would reach the Wii in sales, and that is for both the 360 and PS3.
I mean the Wii is around 100 mln sales. PS3 and 360 are both around 70 mln.
Wii isn't selling really anymore since about what, a year. And when WiiU comes to the scene, Nintendo will probably drop the Wii all together.
Sony has shown that they keep the former gen in sale while being on a new gen. Like the PS2 is still getting sold now, the PS...
I already own one, bought it day one for 250.
I do want Sony to sell a lot more of them though, as it gives 3rd party support. I didn't buy it to own a system that gets hardly any support...
This should be the official retail price if Sony wants to push more of them and get good 3rd party support because of a higher installed base...
The European law on warranty forces the producer to give 2 years of full warranty on electronics like this and the shop officially 1 year, but they need to help a customer if he/she isn't able to claim the 2nd year at the producer.
So basically no need to buy a 2 year warranty in EU.
I want it cheap overhere in the Netherlands. I prefer 160 USD aka 120 Euro too!!!
Overhere cheapest is around 300 Euro, although it gives 2 pair of glasses (one pair is 50 to 70 bucks if bought separate) and KZ3 and GT5.
Thing is, I already own both of those games, if I sell em might bring something like 30 to 40 Euro. Still that makes 260 Euro total. I'd buy that bundle if it rocked around 200, 220 Euro max
OMG REALLY?
WiiU gets a CPU that is about on par with a 7 year old 360. It gets a newer GPU than the 7 year old 360 and the 6 year old PS3. ORLY???
And then Xbox 8 and PSOrbis arrive and suddenly WiiU is back to the situation the Wii is in now. Getting watered down ports.
