How long will it take for PS4 or Xbox One to play catch up to Wii U?

I know basing the quality of games on the numerical scores of others is illogical, but this is system wars. Wii U was the first next gen console to launch and has had some games on the market with reviews out. Given that both PS4 and Xbox One will have support from a much larger array of developers, how long do you thing it will take for the PS4 or the Xbox One to catch up to the quality of games out on the Wii U?

It will be fun to see what's said about this ;)

Keep in mind the Wii U will probably get two more AAEs by the end of this year too.

Lol, ZombiU.

I know! Isn't it exciting! I want to feel the heat of the fire brush against my face

Launch titles November of this year we'll see a noticeable graphics quality increase from next gen to the Wii U. In 3 years, there will be no comparison and the Wii U will probably be around $99, relegated to children's rooms while the PSQuad and Xbox1000 own the living room entertainment center. 

like three months?

so I guess my thread was "TLDR" for you? Or do you place the quality of games solely on graphics and tech?

ZombiU is a high quality game?

Dat Super Mario 3D World. :cool: I'm starting to get really excited for this. 

Eh, it depends. Multiplats will be considered in the console war and since the Wii U will miss out on a lot of those people will use that against the system. Just exclusives though, hard to say. There are a lot of great looking exclusives coming for both the Xbox One and PS4, but the Wii U also has great exclusives coming and already here. 

I dunno. 

It will probably take a month or two for the real next-gen systems to totally kick the U to the shitter.jer_1

I'm guessing it will take closer to a year and then they'll exponentially take the Wii U down each consecutive year based on the above criteria

I barely use my Gamecube, Wii and Wii U consoles. 

How long will it take? Eh, 3 months.

It doesnt even matter ... Coz the wiiU is screwed.

November 15 2013 for PS3.

Because he probably has the line of thinking that "I might want to play that old game one day", but in reality never will. I'm the same way. I don't know why I keep my old consoles when I never play them. I always get bored of them after 30 minutes. I have played SMW, SMRPG and sonic 2 to absolute death....but i keep them around.

Are you talking about exclusives or overall library?

You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

If he's using gamerankings for one system, then we'd use gamerankings for the others as well.... so its still even, "genius"

Launch day. That's how long.

I don't use Metacritic because it isn't a true aggregate score. They weigh site's merit differently when calculating the average... I don't think that's right. Who's to decide who's opinion has more merit than another's?

They'll never catch up.

I like Nintendo, and sorta the WiiU But come on, the other 2 will massacre the WiiU in term of games :?Giancar

But my question is how long will it take for that to happen.

I would imagine the launch line ups for both will manage it without too much trouble TC,:lol:

Not very long for the Xbox One (the launch window alone might outdo it). A bit longer for the PS4. It just depends on when, or if, Nintendo ever shifts their game development into maximum overdrive.

Play review scores all you want, TC, but those lineups aren't very impressive.

The wii u is playing catch up to the ps3/360 and it can't even see the next gen consoles. On sales the wii u is going to get crushed and most likely get pulled from the market early. I feel sorry for all the people who bought a wii u.

I would imagine the launch line ups for both will manage it without too much trouble TC,:lol:

OneInchMan99

That is, realistically, highly unlikely...

I don't know. Maybe about 3 months?

If talking about everything combined (multiplats and exclusives), probably 9-12 months, including the titles coming in the first half of 2014 for Wii U

While the WiiU does have a pretty ok start up against the PS4 and Xbox One.

It'll only take till Spring of 2014 to catch up with the WiiU with the other consoles being much more popular than the WiiU.

Years maybe decades.
