Ofcoarse its not a brand new console, its weaker than the xbox 360 and came out 7 years later.

lol no it is microsoft who needs to pack it up and leAVE THEIR RUINING THE GAMING INDUSTRY simple fact the only reason i choose xone over ps4 atm is because of dead rising 3 and forza 5   , ,   other then that ----  nintendos way more better , 

they always make good on their promises -- example one , they promised to release all or most of its classic franchises - they did that ,  ,   

the only 4 ips left to not have games since gc , are fzero 1080 wave race and stuntrace fx since snes,  

 

---- other promises include online play --- the wiiu has a good enough online   alot better then the wii , no fc bs ,  and  such ,

Because Nintedo and the Wii U suck balls.

Nope it's just a flat out flop.

I dont know, I guess. Im not saying the wii u is a bad console, I think it's a great idea, but I just havent seen any interesting games so far. Im speaking for any potential wii u owners, cause my brother already owns one as he is a pikmin fan. Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 are the only interesting games, but pikmin 3 was way too short, at least to me. Yes there is Wind Waker, but it's just a remake, and all the other upcoming games look very similar such as mario kart and super mario 3d world.

Yes if you like the usual mario and zelda formulas then it's worth it, but I just want to see some new stuff on the table, like pokemon snap 2, star fox, metroid, and new nintendo formulas never seen before. I also hope nintendo continues to support JRPGs on their consoles, because it was really cool to see Xenoblade and Last Story come to north america. I just want nintendo to expand their game variety and not be afraid to do something new.

Not a chance it's going to be between current and next gen. It's power is no better than 360 or PS3 so how could it possibly be better? 

After yesterday getting hands on experience with the ps4 and xbone, I'm 100% sure the Wii U is the best choice of console this generation. Both failed to impress and everything I've seen thus far could quite easily be done on Wii U. Ryse was particularly disappointing and killzone was quite embarrassing to watch as well. The numbers have not helped ms or sony as much as they'd hoped.

eas butthurt over origin that simple but when wiiu picks up steam the support should as well

It's no big loss, EA isn't all that great since after N64.BigBen11111

A really great console. People hate on it because 3rd party shovelware was a major thing on the Wii, but Nintendo produced some incredible titles and in my mind, without a doubt the best titles this gen. Look at the reviews everywhere, pretty much all the first party and second party titles get glowing reviews but are reduced into obscurity because of all the shovelware.

If I were to complain about anything, I'd say that Nintendo really should have made motion plus a thing from the get-go. The accelerometer only was a little disappointing but once motion plus hit and games supported it, the Wii Remote felt exactly how it should have.

Halo's story, albeit difficult to follow because of a combination of low dialogue volume and the plot that throws you into the middle of it a little, but the scale of the world makes it actually quite deep.

Oh also, Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. C'mon TC, are you even trying?
