What went wrong with the WiiU, well....
For one the console was conceived in 2008. So more than likely Nintendo was basing the hardware specs to that of the 360 and PS3. They probably should had waited until 2010 or 2011 or at least revise the console by then. Sure it would had delay the WiiU from being the first launch console but history have shown us being first isn't always that great.

The WiiU Gamepad, while its cool controller its really taking away from ...

They're losing more than their strong spark.
-Developers are too afraid to take a chance with it so they rather skip the platform.
-Hardware wise it will make porting PS4/X1 to it given that the hardware isn't similar to the PS4/X1 and that its weaker.
-Possible multiplatform future titles more than likely will skipped the WiiU(Developers and hardware is to blame for this).

Overall I hate to say it but the road ahead for Nintendo won't be a...

Argonaut had a contract to make a 3D platformer, which starred Yoshi. After showing the prototype to Nintendo, one year later Super Mario 64 was release which offer similar mechanic that Argonaut's prototype had.

After their contract expired with Nintendo, Argonaut turn the 3D prototype into Croc.

So with Amazon you're paying $4.50 less if you don't include tax. Also discount stop July 14(when the sales ends) not August 14 is what I read on Amazon.

Well right now TWD(TV show) isn't currently airing. It was one of the factors that mainly attribute all the talking last year.

The hardware improvement isn't to make your mustache friend look more realistic but is for third party developers.

"The hardware itself should have an emphasis on not only what makes you (Nintendo) comfortable, but also a way to make development easier for the devs who rely on higher quality CPUs and RAM. "

The game has change Nintendo need third party developers now more than ever.

Team Rocket(specifically Jesse and James, far as the anime goes) are terrible villains. They are still trying to capture Pikachu and still stealing pokemons. They never really evolve/grow as villains.

The best video-game villains, the video game companies

Publisher and developers make a lot on money on consoles. So I highly doubt consoles will die anytime soon.

I blame Windows 8 that and the rise of tablets and smartphones.

A lot people seem to be going full retard, lately. It will only get worse from here own out. More silly unnecessary lawsuits and more people throwing their rights away for something they have the slightest clue about.

Maybe we are finally leaving the "CoD era" by that I mean less publishers or developers trying to put MP in their games when its really not necessary or even needed.

Regardless I can't wait for the next R:C title.

Nintendo needs to hire a better system architect/designer for the WiiU successor because the person or people behind the WiiU hardware spec sure as hell didn't know what they were doing. While they made the specs stronger than the Wii the console isn't all that future proof compare to the X1 and PS4.

Nintendo could still cater to both the causal crowd and the core crowd. Motion gaming for the causal and keep all core titles pro controller/non-motion gaming controller...

Ebay is good place to find manufacturer refurbish gaming laptop. You will most likely find the 2012 models in the $700-900+ range for certain laptop brands. Others brands like MSI, Alienware, Razer tend to still be expensive regardless what model or condition you find them in.

I found this manufacturer refurbish Lenovo Y580. It came with 1tb HDD, mSSD , bluray and also with basic config(ivy bridge&660M GTX) for $658. I was thinking about buying it but I have to pay for...

That's why they invented laptop cooling pads. Sure you got to hurl out an extra $20-35+ but it will keep your lap cool and your laptop cooler. Usually 5-10+ or more degrees cooler depending on the laptop, how much heats it emits and the environment you're in.

The graficks sure aren't worth 1.5-2k+.

I found some Y580 on ebay low as $650. I also found some Toshiba Qsmario 2012 model(on ebay, manufacturer refub) or w/e they're called, for $870. Ivy bride with GTX 670M should be decent enough to run most modern games(referring to the Toshiba laptop btw).

If you're looking for a Sagers or Clevo, Lpc-digital.com tend to have them cheap. You can find a laptop equipped with a GTX 770M GPU and Haswell chip for...

Voice commands a feature that's been available for years via headset. I found them unnecessary in ME3 and I am pretty it will be the same thing BF4. Honestly they really don't add anything to the game.
