Hi, people. I have some views on the next-gen consoles, and I'd like you to listen or perhaps give your own insight.
I don't understand why everyone is hating on the Wii U. Sure, the specs could need a little touch-up, but these days nobody's PERSONAL opinion matters. Even if I say that I love the Wii U (which I do, I own one and think it's cool) I'm gonna get a ton of hate and only, at most, five positive comments which agree with me or posts that provide a legitimate argument.
I'd also like the bring up the matter of the 2DS. On Miiverse (Nintendo's forum), I've been hearing about the 2DS left and right, and, after doing some research, also found out THAT was getting hate as well. People don't seem to understand that the 3DS is still a purchase option. The fact that this is turning people away from it is disappointing because they do not perceive that this was meant more for a casual and/or younger audience. If I had not owned a 3DS, I would've went for this in a heartbeat. I also own a 3DS myself, and I don't find myself using the 3D much. It's more of a sales gimmick than a feature, in my eyes.
The PS4 and Xbox One, the way I see it, are just a reboot to force customers to pay more again for games. Isn't it just a few tweaks here, and a few features there? I think Nintendo was making a real upgrade, with the new controller concept of the GamePad.
Nintendo isn't for "babies". Their game plan nowadays has been to target the casual audience, that's why some parts might not appeal to today's hardcore gamers. Not to mention, they've also been video game pioneers(ish). When they pulled the Wii, the competition pretty much followed suit. The PSMove was a Wii remote + Nunchuk replica, and the Kinect's games were also almost a copy of what Nintendo did. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, etc.
To sum up, I am a Nintendo fanboy, pretty much. I'm not hating on the other consoles, just trying to defend my Nintendo preference. Who knows, I might end up getting a PS4 or Xbox One in the future. I'm neutral in the video game triangle, just slightly closer to Nintendo and balanced between Sony and Microsoft. I am going to get so much hate on this subject, not only from stubborn fanboys/girls, but my fellow logical sirs and madams for starting yet another console war. Please make legitimate statements, I actually am curious to hear from people who have a good standpoint on this. I'd like to know why personal opinions don't matter in the video game industry, and only graphics and specs do. |

"Hi, people. I have some views on the next-gen consoles, and I'd like you to listen or perhaps give your own insight."
ok
"I don't understand why everyone is hating on the Wii U."
people who hate it have valid reasons
"Sure, the specs could need a little touch-up"
a little? the wii u is having issues with xb360 and ps3 games
", but these days nobody's PERSONAL opinion matters. Even if I say that I love the Wii U (which I do, I own one and think it's cool) I'm gonna get a ton of hate and only, at most, five positive comments which agree with me or posts that provide a legitimate argument."
now you're just playing the "poor me" attitude.

agreed

This is where your ignorance kicks in. The ps4 and xbone are reboots? Well, um, all consoles are that way. Plus, gamers don't want some stupid gimmicky thing. We want to game, not wave our hands in the air. Also, the dreamcast had the idea of the gamepad ten years before nintendo. You obviously don't know much about the history of consoles.

Actually, if you watched the wii u press conference, they said they were going to start targeting a more hardcore audience.
Also, ripoffs are not a bad thing. Although, the kinect and move sucked.

Fun fact: Nintendo did NOT invent handheld to tv, Wii U gamepad being the handheld.

Your input is appreciated.
There's still one point left that you didn't cover. These days, nobody cares whether one person likes a certain console, I'll use Nintendo as an example again. I like the Wii U. People will still complain about how much the Wii U sucks. I can agree that the specs need an overhaul in the foreseeable future. But I still like it. My point is, people don't care about personal gameplay opinions anymore. |

I can agree with this. |

| I should've probably mentioned some background information about me. I'm a modernist. I'm not a hardcore gamer. ANYONE can beat me if they play CoD. |

I don't understand why everyone is hating on the Wii U.
it sucks more than a black hole
Sure, the specs could need a little touch-up
you mean a massive upgrade?
, but these days nobody's PERSONAL opinion matters.
then what is the point of this thread?
Even if I say that I love the Wii U (which I do, I own one and think it's cool) I'm gonna get a ton of hate and only, at most, five positive comments which agree with me or posts that provide a legitimate argument.
then why post this thread
I'd also like the bring up the matter of the 2DS. On Miiverse (Nintendo's forum), I've been hearing about the 2DS left and right, and, after doing some research, also found out THAT was getting hate as well.
of course it is, its an counterproductive venture
People don't seem to understand that the 3DS is still a purchase option
true but nobody really gives a damn for the 3D because the resolution on the 3DS is pitiful and the aliasing makes it bad
. The fact that this is turning people away from it is disappointing because they do not perceive that this was meant more for a casual and/or younger audience. If I had not owned a 3DS, I would've went for this in a heartbeat. I also own a 3DS myself, and I don't find myself using the 3D much. It's more of a sales gimmick than a feature, in my eyes.
the 3ds xl is meant for casuals the 3ds is meant for casuals the 2ds is meant for casuals
consoles in general are made for casuals
The PS4 and Xbox One, the way I see it, are just a reboot to force customers to pay more again for games.
no its just consoles getting their upgrade
Isn't it just a few tweaks here, and a few features there?
yes but its all that it needs
I think Nintendo was making a real upgrade
not really the wii u is still severely underpowered and outdated, and how much it costs only makes that fact worse
, with the new controller concept of the GamePad.
its a gimmick
Nintendo isn't for "babies"
their lineup doesn't convince me of the otherwise
. Their game plan nowadays has been to target the casual audience
or people hooked up on the nostalgia drug
, that's why some parts might not appeal to today's hardcore gamers
or core gamers for that matter
. Not to mention, they've also been video game pioneers(ish)
sure their tech may be "innovative" but their games sure as hell aren't.
. When they pulled the Wii, the competition pretty much followed suit. The PSMove was a Wii remote + Nunchuk replica, and the Kinect's games were also almost a copy of what Nintendo did. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, etc.
people didn't want to pay for a platform with a few party games, and that's it.
