WiiU - 4

I've watched clips of usage with it. I'm not interested in it too much so I didn't read much on it. Nintendo hasn't impressed me in the past with their systems. They're making a lot of different versions of the DS which is unneccessary. The Wii is ok. This just doesn't look eye catching to me.

They've had a few real-time renderings of what it's capable of(just so you know, pre-launch content often isn't pushing the graphical limits of what a system is capable of, and end-console games tend to put early-console games to shame as far as graphics go as developers figure out how to milk them for all they're worth).

(might want to change the resolution to HD if your connection will be able to).

The graphics are pretty good. Looks like PS3 graphics to me. I'm fine with the Xbox 360 graphics since it already looks realistic.

Those graphics are way beyond that of a PS3 if you're aware of what you're looking at...

They don't seem much different to me.

Then I don't think you're recognizing just how much of a difference there is in the textures and polygon count.

Gaming systems aren't about graphics to me.

Then you should absolutely love the WiiU, because that's what Nintendo is excellent about. Making incredible games with creative and innovative game play that no gaming company can parallel.

Then what the hell do you mean by the PS3 and 360 being more "advanced?" In this stage all we can look at is specs, so you're drawing out some pretty ill-informed conclusions about the console on things you apparently don't care about?

Lol you seem pretty passionnent about this. By advanced I mean the features and add-ons it has. Xbox 360 can play DVD's, Kinect motion, ability to store music, videos, photos, etc., able to chat with your friends over a mic, and other features. The one major thing the Wii lacks is good Wi-Fi. Some of the games you can play online, but it's not nearly as cool as Xbox 360 or PS3. You get your own profile on there, achievments, ability to invite any friend to a game, more multiplayer option choices, etc.

So just slap an online log in page on a console to make it better?

All this crap I can do with my phone and blu ray player. It's about games, not all this other crap.

Nintendo does need to improve quite a few things. Their online has always been abysmal, and I don't like the fact that saves are per system. For example, Twilight Princess only had two save slots... what happens if I had a family of more than two people interested in playing? Oh well! On the gamecube with memory cards every member could have their own memory card, but with the Wii you're kind of crap out of luck. I mean, you can swap with SD cards but that's troublesome.

But all in all, if I hope for anything it's that they don't **** up online play this time(and please, god, DON'T IMPLEMENT BUTTON LAG!).

Without good multiplayer the games wouldn't last as long now would they? Also, people like other features on a console. Everyone was constantly saying the PS3 was better than the Xbox because it has a Blue Ray player and free online. I honestly don't care about the Blu Ray player because I buy normal DVD's.

Along the same line, too much do games rely solely on multiplayer to add any sort of replay to the game, often thinking they can neglect the single-player stuff. I hope Nintendo doesn't do that.

The WiiU will most likely have all these features...online, music playback, dvd, video, w/e.

The 3DS has music, video, online, etc. So, you can only assume the WiiU will as well.
Not to mention, Nintendo has emphasized online multiplayer with the WiiU, saying they've worked very closely with developers to make a good online experience.

So, It all sounds wonderful, and I can only hope it is.
