I like the PS4, but this analysis is seriously flawed and meaningless. You're comparing the 4th iteration of a hardware line with the 1st iterations of certain hardware. In other words, why are you comparing the PS4 with the iPhone 1? Why not compare it with the iPhone 5 or the latest iPad or whatever?

I'm gay, atheist, liberal and I agree with the original poster. Games should not be intentionally created for the sole purpose of showcasing a character's sexual orientation, religious beliefs or other attributes. Instead, they should just casually feature characters that happen to be gay or atheist or straight or whatever. Or not, if the developer chooses not to.

That's irrelevant. The perceived power of the Wii U is that it's substantially inferior to the other two consoles.

Oh I know...I'm well aware of that. It's been like that for years.

Sony and Microsoft's gaming divisions are suffering financially, yet Nintendo has $13 billion in net assets, yet they somehow can't develop and sell a real next gen powerful console with a traditional controller? I just don't get it. They have the money, a substantial fanbase, tons of first party IP's and a 30-year legacy in the industry.

In my opinion, they could have made a console exactly like the PS4 (or even better), with their first party games, and could have retained and attracted plenty of third party support. Without the need for going into debt like Sony does.

It's frustrating. Nintendo has the money, resources, experience and talent to make it happen, but instead they are trying too hard to be innovative, and it's NOT working.

Anyone else share my sentiments? I mean, they can and should easily be the top dog, even against the PS4 and Xbox One. They could have had the most superior hardware and the best multiplatform games, without going into debt.

At first I was concerned about purchasing this game because of the fact that it got a 6 on this web site. However, I risked it and bought it.

It's a SUPERB game. I'd give it a solid 9.

The challenge level is perfect and gives you a sense of accomplishment. The graphics are GREAT, highly detailed and colorful. And the soundtrack is very memorable. Loved it.

It's just ridiculously fun.....I'm very glad I bought it. Definitely one of the best Wii U games, if not the best!

Gaming is like masturbation. Just take a break from it for a while, then come back and you'll be in the mood again.

X360 finished last gen in THIRD place. The numbers are there. Look them up. PS3 edged it out by a hair, toward the end. But the Wii beat them both.

Shooters are irrelevant crap to me.

I just don't see it happening in our lifetime unless some crazy new invention comes along.

Even if mobile devices eat up some market share from consoles, there will still be plenty of consumers who prefer to game on a console, because of the controller. Especially those who know what it's like to play games on a console. Only casuals will gravitate toward gaming on a phone.
