Xbox One is not a Wii U competitor

After a first look at the new Xbox it, PS4 and Wii U seem to be radically different from each other. What will this mean for the coming years?

Good, because Wii U feels the same.

Pixel_Enemy3989d ago

To be honest, I kind of hope Wii U and Xbox One don't sell well. PS4 seems to be a hit with core gamers and developers. If PS4 can get a lead in the console race, everyone will want to develop for it and the real gamers win. PS4 does have the best of all three consoles features under one hood.

Monopolies are historically terrible. Competition is what will lead to better products.

EDIT: Nintendo may be my personal favorite, but I'd be absolutely heartbroken if Sony in particular stopped making consoles. Competition helps all of the platforms improve.

SonyPS43989d ago

Sorry but Wii U is here to stay. Xbox One might have to go if everyone is buying PS4s instead of XOnes. Sony has much better chance with this this generation than they did the last. PS3 had poor reception by the media, and developers, but this time everything is looking to be the opposite. Developers are praising the PS4, Sony has gotten aggressive with their AD campaign, Sony stocks rising while MS stocks are dropping, gamers are more excited for PS4, while XboxOne is getting slammed across the entire internet, etc.

PigPen3989d ago

You're thinking long term for Sony's survival huh. Why would you ever hope for something like that.

BLKxSEPTEMBER3989d ago

How in the hell does real gamers win if the xbox and wii u dont sale well? that sounds like the exact opposite to me. you sound like a blind sheep fanboy.

WiiUsauce3989d ago

what makes you think there aren't "real gamers" on Nintendo consoles. There are gonna be some phenomenal hardcore games on Wii U. Super Smash Bros. is widely known as one of the most technical fighters out there, so much so that it's gonna be a EVO fighting game this year.

Xenoblade 2 will be one of the most hardcore RPG's on any system. It'll be open world, have a badass MMO style battle system, will have online multiplayer and deep character customization as well as breath-taking visuals.

Bayonetta 2 and Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem are more hardcore titles... jesus. Why are you guys so hard headed? The PS4 will be great, but so will the Wii U. So far though, the Xbox One looks atrocious.

SugarSoSweet3989d ago

I hope so too Sony were the only 1's with enough balls too put decent hardware in their machine and actually target gamers

truechainz3989d ago

The "real gamers win"? Any gamer who wants to pigeonhole themselves to the content of one console has no right to call themselves a real gamer. Take your elitism somewhere else

right now it sure isn't competing with any game consoles, maybe a cable boxes.

I think M$ is trying to get the jump on Apple for their Apple TV, before it comes out. However, I'm sure Apple will have a bigger following than One will along with new things (innovation) as well.

i feel game consoles are dead now we have hybrids..

(ps4 social gaming console.......xbox 1 a media gaming console...and then theres ninty always doing there own thing)

the console are turning more and more into computers like hybrids ..

Minato-Namikaze3989d ago

But what we’re all about, in our DNA, is the gaming and the gamers. You buy [PlayStation] because you’re a gamer and you enjoy playing games, and you use it for other purposes, but we’re first and foremost about that core gamer that eats, sleeps and drinks the gaming. - Jack Tretton.

I want to fight for the side that fights for gaming, lol

BeZdaBest3989d ago

yea thats why i buy gaming console in general..

if they were to make a "pure" game machine it'll probably be better because all the extra stuff wouldnt be taxing the systems memory..it probably be a lot cheaper..i just want to play games i dont want none of my stuff to show up on facebook or twitter...and i dont want my system to be a media hub..i have a roku and a old pc i use for that purpose..

i understand there trying to give you value with this things.. maybe they should make a core system that only plays games and nothing else. ill buy that for a dollar(not really for a dollar but i hope you understand what i mean...

Bigpappy3989d ago

Well the PS3 will try to compete with both. It already has the touch pad and the Move. It is also rumored to have a Kinect like camera and similar power to X1. So the PS3 has all potential bases covered.

It just needs to lead in one of those areas, and not just copy what the others are doing.

-Falaut-3989d ago

...and that's another post by Bigpappy everyone. *slow clap*

SonyPS43989d ago

It has no chance against Wii U or the PS4 with all this:

-Anti used games
-24 hour offline
-Paid online
-Emphasis on TV entertainment

Neither Wii U or PS4 has ANY of this.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga2d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos2d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas2d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj2d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger2d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
