| You're going to say otherwise if you're a hater, but the majority of Wii U haters are the ones who are overdrawn into the other consoles like Xbox and PS3. This is what drove Wii out of popularity. You can ask a kid nowadays what he thinks of Wii and he'll say "It fails it doesn't even have [3rd Gen Console here]. If you ask me, Nintendo does their things with more style, maybe it's just nostalgia, but I believe they do. If you hate on the Wii U, make a good reason instead of trashing it instantly... |

| It's not that I personally hate the Wii U. It's just not my type of gaming. I already have the Wii and I barely use it anyway. |

| 99% of the people in here who hate it, hate it because it doesn't run fast enough/has bad graphics, monty just says it in a way that makes it seem logical. |

| @Video: See? That's a legitimate reason for disliking the Wii U. |

The issue I have with nintendo, is that they don't really seem to take anything they do seriously.
"Oh, we're behind everyone else in terms of hardware and the Wii's online sucks? Better come up with another gimmick." |

you're making it sound like everyone who hates the Wii U is completely biased and has no actual arguments
personally I just don't enjoy Nintendo exclusives any more, apart from a rare Mario session, but I don't see the point in dropping £300 for one game every few weeks
I also want to know my purchase is going to last a long time, look at the Wii, they supported it for about a year then the amount of content appearing on it dropped hugely for its second year, and from that point onwards it just died
I want to invest in a console knowing that it's going to be worth my money, Sony for example promised 10 years of content on the PS3 and the PS Vita and thus far they have delivered on their promises
also, many may argue that graphics don't matter, but for the most part video games are a visual medium. Graphics and picture play a huge role in video games, and to be honest I want to play good-looking games which are up-to-date and impressive. It's a part of the experience, and Nintendo seem to have devalued it for the benefit of cheaper production costs using outdated hardware
also, the GamePad is the DS. Think about it, it's the same two-screen gimmick we got given back in 2005, 7 years ago. They just put it on a larger scale with more advanced hardware, it's not as 'fresh' and 'new' as people are making it out to be
and to add insult to injury I've seen no good use of the controller other than in ZombiU, and even that becomes irritating since it breaks the flow of gameplay. Having a map on the GamePad is not a good thing, to look at it you have to take your eyes away from the screen and you can't afford to do that in fast paced games such as Call of Duty
I think I've made my point, but rest assured that I could go on

| @Pirat: I read your post, I didn't say anything about it. I'm just refering to how you said I make it sound like everyone disliked the Wii U for the reasons above I put. I'm not saying that all of you have that reason in common, but I'm fairly sure it's the majority reason due to most of the posts I see on forums nowadays. Most gamers now are absorbed into PS3 and Xbox to the extent where they drop anything that isn't the latest, which I don't think is right due to my respect for old consoles and platforming. But by all means, if you dislike the Wii U, it's not like I can make you play it. My post was just an observation. |
