[QUOTE="AtariKidX"][QUOTE="super600"]

Unless you're obsessed with being able to play movies on all available formats you shouldn't be complaining about a gaming console not having a dvd player or blue ray player.And you can buy a cheap HDD for literally under a $100 for the WiiU if you know were ot look.

the_bi99man

And again the PS3 have all of them.Games,BRay movies and HDD and for 250$.WiiU sucks....deal with that.

WiiU isn't on shelves yet. And doesn't have an official price. Deal with that.

Doing what you do best, ignoring the facts. Keep it up, the PS3 will likely have a price drop making the Wii U even more irrelevant.

Don't even bother. Elementary school grammar is waaaaaaaay over this guy's head.

I'm sure he's 15 or under and in a public school.

If only you were right, then finally, finally! You would be right once in your life.

I seriously love how you keep on putting yourself on a pedestal and mocking people when you and that other annoying user named darkdude2k12 are both morons with ego problems.

Are you actually implying that "WiiU is not on shelves yet" and "doesn't have official price" aren't facts? Is this bizarro world now? Up is down? Hot is cold? War is peace? Ignorance is wisdom? Okay. You win. I'm out. Enjoy your delusions.

Nintendo will sell old, cheap and outdated tech and put 2012 price tag on it, so it's an overpriced scam pos that belongs in the same bin with the wii.

$299 would not surprise me, but given the 3DSXL price point is $199, I also wouldnt be surprised if it turned out to be $349 or $399. People also forget that there is more to pricing a product than the sum of its parts. Nintendo notoriously spends incredible amounts on R&D. This factors into the price.

I'll buy a Wii U because my 360, PS3 & PC won't read my Super Mario Galaxy discs or Zelda for that matter.... Hmmm... maybe I should have them resurfaced.

Of course I suppose there is a chance Ninty won't make a Mario or Zelda game for the Wii U.... oh wait, they are already confirmed in development....

It really isn't next gen, to the Nintendo world. Yes it's next gen but to everything else it isn't seen as a next gen consoles. It isn't leaps and bounds beyond what current gen consoles can do, meaning its a current gen console but in Nintendo's world it is next gen as it is a step up from the Wii.

You don't know it's price. And last time I checked PS3s and 360s (the non-basic models) are not all that cheap either, despite being over 7 years old systems.

The lack of specs, the games visually don't look much better if it all so far than the 360/PS3, the only thing the console has going for it is the controller. If it's not a game changer or really special at all, there is no point the Wii U unless you want to play 1st party titles.

Doesn't matter they still offer a huge catalog of games since they launched 7 years ago, many of the Wii U's titles will also be on 360/PS3 which most people already own. Unless Nintendo has a lot of big 3rd part exclusives on the way, aside from the usual 1st party quality titles it will be hard for gamers to really find interest in the console. The system has no buzz, and there is literally no hype for it. For a reason.

Some games look more impreassive then all the games on the HD twins.Some games have shadows and lightning above this gen(ZombieU and Nintendoland).Some games(multiplats) will have better looking textures then their counterparts.

The Wii U will definitely have better looking multiplats, as it should but what happens when the PS4/Xbox 3 launch. It is best to wait out the Wii U launch to see what MS/Sony are bringing, if they turn out to be powerhouses the Wii is screwed and those better looking textures,lightings, and shadows won't mean a thing.

The console will have a more modern feature set in terms of hardware so it won't be left behind in terms of tech specs by the PS4 and 720.Third parties may find it easier to port next gen games to the console.

[QUOTE="Zlychop"] The lack of specs, the games visually don't look much better if it all so far than the 360/PS3, the only thing the console has going for it is the controller. If it's not a game changer or really special at all, there is no point the Wii U unless you want to play 1st party titles.Zlychop

Some games look more impreassive then all the games on the HD twins.Some games have shadows and lightning above this gen(ZombieU and Nintendoland).Some games(multiplats) will have better looking textures then their counterparts.

The Wii U will definitely have better looking multiplats, as it should but what happens when the PS4/Xbox 3 launch. It is best to wait out the Wii U launch to see what MS/Sony are bringing, if they turn out to be powerhouses the Wii is screwed and those better looking textures,lightings, and shadows won't mean a thing.

True... just look at how the x360 and ps3 outsold the WII this gen... oh wait that didn''t happen.

When Nintendo actually reveals the price for the hardware and you have a beef with it, then by all means make a thread complaining about it. But until they do, you are really just complaining about rumors and speculation, which in turn, amounts to nothing. Feel free to talk about it your blog though. Plenty of space there.
