Nintendo Wii U is my console of choice, like it or not

MG "I wish it was still easy to be a videogamer. I’m so tired of all the fighting and bickering happening whenever a new console sees the light of day, a new game hits the shelf, or a large gaming company goofs-up something."

Why can't all gamers be like this? Preference of a console is fine, but don't bash other people for choosing different.

So umm Dreamcast 2 anyone?

its too much fun for those with the mob mentality to just let it go. Sure we could all just turn away from the internet and let everyone go their own way but they (mob mentality) just dont want to do that.

As for the wii-u or ps4 or xb1...they are all great systems and really compliment each other. If a gamer want to buy any or all of them...so be it. If a gamer wants to support one..so be it as well. Lets just be a bit more respectable about it. We play games because they are fun no matter the platform.

One of the wisest comments ever written on this website. Glad to see that not all gamers have deficient mentation.

I enjoy my Wii U. I'll refrain from any other thoughts.

Wiiu is going to be my 2nd console

[The_Truth_24_7]

I feel sorry for you.

[Reeze]

I'll have to say the same thing. I'm surprised, but the Wii U is actually the most fun console I've ever owned.

[LOL_WUT]

I like my WiiU too but let's not jump to conclusions that the console will ever make some sort of comeback ;)

[truechainz]

haha you just couldnt resist. In a place of peace and tranquility you insist trying to belittle the wii u even when the author never said a thing about sales. A pure troll whose line of thinking is a gold mine for anyone researching insecurity.

LOL_WUT's name is a perfect match for his comments

Not sure why anyone would feel the need to justify which games they play or which console they play them on-

I don t care what games/consoles other people play (but if I did it should not matter a bit to them or anyone else)

[videgamenext1]

People get so butt hurt over someone liking the wiiu. Its a great console and right now has more to offer than its competition in my view. I own a ps4 also but the only game im buying for months is mgs5.

The Wii U is really fun to play. It does not matter what game it is. I love the Gamepad features. Let me tell you that no matter what they say about Watch Dogs on Wii U.(being close to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions). The Gamepad features on Watch Dogs should set it apart from the other versions including the xbox one and PS4.

Well this isn't anything new. I remember sega vs Nintendo fueds. But I think online multiplayer intensified it. I remember when I had an n64 and traded consoles with a buddy that had a ps1 for the weekend. I ended buying a ps 1 because of it. There was never a sense of hating each other's consoles because we don't have the same one. I think the internet tends to bring out the worst in us and that combined with wanting to believe that we chose the best feeds on itself to create a fanboy.
Another big factor is economics. If everyone had disposable income in the amounts to buy multiple consoles, I think a lot of the hate would go away. If you have all of the big three, why bash on anyone of them? At that point people would be skipping consoles based on some principle they carry, like wanting to buy American so Xbox, or standing against drm so no Xbox, or even refusal to play for online multiplayer so Nintendo. Instead we have the insecurities of "dang, those games look great but I can't play them" and "my favorite isn't on top. Does that reflect on me?"

What's really annoying is that every talk about Wii U has to be an argument about Nintendo's relevance in the gaming industry.

[mysteryraz11]

wii u needs a new metroid or a zelda like the e3 trailer with the spider, mario kart 8 looks ok and smash bros is cool but it needs more

[MNGamer-N]

I've been playing PS4 and WiiU equally. With a little 3DS and PS3 thrown in the mix. WiiU is a great systme, no shame in my game.

Who might you be?
