I disagree with you, but that was an awesome level headed response. We need more of you on the internet.
Nintendo isn't winning. Yeah, go play Mario now and Zelda next year. Then what? What will they be doing between now and then? It won't be playing games, that's for damn sure. Wii U comes out with 3 games that are worth playing (after being out a whole year)and now the gaming press has had a complete climax clusterfuck over them. It's ridiculous.
250k? And now you know why North America is the more important market for Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.
Did this have to go up on April 1st?
I'm hoping it's just because of it being April 1st tomorrow. I'm really hoping.
Easy solution that works every console cycle: buy both.
So you're saying a kid is smart enough to see someone killing a person in a game, but not smart enough for a sex scene? What about movies? Books? Television shows? Not to mention this game is rated M. Do you take a child to a rated R movie and then complain when you see a boob?
We kill thousands of people in this game, yet the sex scene where two humans are having sex is raising the red flag? This society is fucked up.
Yes, like how fast it can collect dust.
Says "wiiulee". We can tell you're pretty objective about the WiiU with a name like that.
Now you're playing with not enough power.
Is Nintendo just trolling us now? I really hope this is just an appetizer for what's really coming out in a couple years. Whatever "gen" the Wii U is in, it better be light years beyond the 7 and 6 year old Xbox 360 and PS3. Any person who somehow justifies visuals coming from the Wii U not even on par with the old systems at this point have an agenda they're hiding. The launch of this console is a joke. The gaming pad should have just been an accessory launch for the origi...
The Wii U will be the best next gen console until the others are released.
Troll is trolling. Consoles that came out 5 years ago are less powerful than $1000 PCs you can buy today? <.spoiler alert> No shit.</spoiler alert.>

The Wii U will continue to be able to take PS3 and Xbox 360 ports. If anyone thinks that Xbox 360 and PS3 games will cease to be created after next holiday you're wrong. The install base will be so big that developers won't be able to ignore it simply because new hardware will exist in 2013 holiday. The Wii U exists only as a stopgap measure to bring in the (proper) Call of Duty money in along with any other title that isn't exclusive. If you want to learn what the future is a...
For all the people who pretend they've never heard of Roger Ebert, get real. I completely disagree with the man, but for anyone to make it seem like he's this no name figure who is looking for 'attention' you're either younger than 15 or purposefully naive. That said, I'm in the camp of people who say that no one can tell anyone else what they do isn't art. It's like me telling someone else they aren't having fun while they're having fun.
You say Rockstar made a 'garbage' game with GTA4, but look at the numbers:
-Vice City sold 17.7 million in 6 years
-San Andreas 21 million is 4 years
-GTA 3 sold 14 million copies in 7 years.
GTA 4 has sold 22 million copies in 4 years. I'm not sure what your definition of 'ruin' is, but that isn't it. If GTA5 is as 'bad' as GTA4 was, I'm sure they'll be more than pleased.
simple answer: buy both.
Compensation for what? You didn't lose anything. Your payment information wasn't compromised.
As soon as they stop making money, they'll stop doing microtransactions. The problem is that they make more and more from it with every game.
