it does what other consoles have been doing for 5 years

and there's also a touch screen thingy that hardly any game developer uses to great effect

all this within 2 years of the next gen consoles getting released and leaving nintendo in the dust again

@man

Fun fact: The N64 was more powerful then the PS1, and the Gamecube was more powerful then the PS2.

as far as my knowledge goes the n64 and gc were as powerful

and then nintendo went and made a console that was just as powerful as a gc

Meanwhile the next xbox and playstation are rumored that you HAVE to be connected to online to play games, even if its single player with no multiplayer or online services whatsoever

well since it's your argument how about you go ahead and do it to prove your point

if you can't back it up the argument is invalid

>birdhouse

that's just a stupid rumor

there is absolutely no merit in that at all

"the wii was popular for about a month"

and even that was only because it was a brand new gimmick the likes of which had never really been seen before

the wii u seriously lacked the innovative gimmicks that made the wii a good seller

news flash kid

it's a market

you stay competitive by offering comparable or superior products to your competitors

kinect was actually a fairly original idea besides the overall concept of motion control but the sony thing was a copy

Are we talking in terms of specs? If not, then I think Wii U is more fun, heck I have more fun on it than my PS3

Nintendo Wii has more enjoyable games and a lot more fun games. Without Halo Microsoft would be worthless, Paper Mario rocks.

>bird

i had a ps3 for a while

the only game i ever got on it was mgs4 which was a great game

and while the ps3 has some advantages like blu ray the online is extremely barebones

xbox 360, while having to pay for online, it's a LOT better than the ps3's

but back to the ps3

so i only ever had 1 game for it

and then

a firmware update FROM SONY ruined my $400 console's blu-ray drive and the company refused to fix it for free

in the 5 years i've had a 360, it's broken down once, and i was able to get it repaired by microsoft for free
