In all it’s fair to say that Nintendo had its finger on the pulse of what would matter this generation when they designed Wii U, and it absolutely has the potential to compete directly with the two upcoming consoles in many respects. It would appear that Nintendo has failed to live up to that potential somewhat in the early days, but then Nintendo doesn’t exactly colour inside the lines very often, and their social-friendly infrastructure and indie-ready online service is liable to kick off at any time. The most important thing to note here is that Nintendo does not intend to compete with the other two console directly as they compete with each other, however have the ability to successful ensured they appeal to some customers who might only want one console.

(i added the video as fact of what would happen)
The Wii U NEEDS 3rd party support.
Certain Death...
I mean they sold 100 million consoles, and 150 million handhelds, and on the software side Mario Kart Wii sold 33 million copies, New Super Mario Bros. Wii sold 26 million, Pokemon diamond sold 18 million. These are not small numbers.
In fact if you look at the numbers for best selling games of all time, The top 25 are all Nintendo titles except for 2 Grand Theft Auto games and Microsoft's Kinect Adventures.
Needless to say, between both consoles and handhelds, Nintendo is a force that can't be stopped. No matter how dismissive "gamers"(In quotations because actual gamers don't hate) have become.
Game on.
I do think that when the Wiiu gets a nice price drop that it should be competitive at that point.
*Raises eyebrow*
You're loss though. Can't be helped though as more and more "gamers" are more concerned with trash talking, humiliating others, and being very nearly abusive towards all things Nintendo. Good on you! You're part of the problem with gaming!
Remember boys and girls! Gaming isn't about gaming. It's about saying everything you can to demean the company in the other camp, as well as the gamers who play those consoles! It's a fact! /s ←For those who don't know, "/s" denotes sarcasm.
Sony wants the core gamer, all the people MS and Nintendo left behind. Delivering with the best and diverse selection of games.
Nintendo wants a mix of casual and core gamers, interesting gameplay through the gamepad, the Nintendo franchises you know and love, and some other family/online social features
MS will want gamers and people who want to have diverse multimedia capabilities with games on the side.
Each is vying for a different audience unlike every other generation were each were vying for the same audience.
I don't think so.
Vita is a core gamer device, if the core market was so big and important, why is Vita still on the shelves and not in my hands?
You just have to appeal to wider audience, and ps4 has nothing to intrigue the casual gamer.
No ilumiroom, no second screen wihout buying a Vita, no real gimmick or some innovation to draw the attention of a non hardcore gamer.
So good luck Sony, with you're core gamer oriented Vita and ps4.
Their exclusive games may not have changed all that much in the last couple decades but there presence today proves the fans still love those experiences.
The wiiu with its specs indicate the WiiU is selling at a loss.
Heres the cpu on wiiu.
a tricore 4 stage pipeline risc cpu with 4/5 instructions per clock a high bandwidth edram catch 4 x data compression graphics data custom burst pipes to gpu custom regesters and instructions at 45 nm MCM with high speed connectors not standard buses IS CUTTING EDGE TECH NOT TWENTY YEARS OLD!!!!
broadway @729mhz would beat a intel ATOM @1.6mhz with shere ease it will litterally leave it for dead expresso per core easily destroys each jaguar core expected in the other systems there badically AMDs version of ATOM skightly better same catch same pipe stages same VERY BASIC x86 core just some added basic out of order thats it..
wiiu cpu has ibm edram as level 2 catch IS CUTTING EDGE TECH its the future of IBM cores and wiiu LEADS THE WAY its top secret tech its stuff nintendo and ibm seem to want to protect
Heres the gpgpu specs that matter.
32mb 140gb plus,, ,3mb edram say 512bit bus 35gb plus,,,sram could be anything 20 to 50 gb whatever theres easily 200gb of fast ram on that custom gpu ,it wouldnt be there DOING NOTHING expensive ram is used to push POWERFUL PROCESSORS VERY HARD
youre more delusional than i ever thought possible none of what you've said make any sense
Its starting to get very irritating and he really should stop bragging about the stupid Wii Us eDram and SRAM.
I have never seen a Nintendo fanboy so defensive of hardware in my life. Go play your Wii U and leave use alone.
Are you quite new to gaming? Nintendo doesn't always release a budget console. It's only done it the last two gens with the Wii and Wii U.
The SNES and N64 were the most powerful of their generation. The Gamecube out performed the PS2 with better graphics. Only when the XBox came late to the party did the cube get out performed.
Look it up IBM eDRAM its the future of cpu cores and wiiu has it,Moonlith soft said no problems with wiiu cpu ? now if it was a weak tri-core cpu it wouldnt get a game like X up and running would it ?
I'm not banging on about it,its true what i say eDRAM as cache on a cpu makes it beast look it up,and eDRAM on the gpgpu makes it beast FINAL,plus its a modified E6760 which in benchmarks smashes the ps4 gpu to pieces anyway.
I must of watched that gif for a least two minutes. lol
