This news doesn't really bother me since I prefer to play racing games with my PS3 Driving Force GT Wheel, especially the NFS series.  Just means I can look at other Wii U games to get instead.

Xbox one Can't play used games, if you want to borrow a game from a friend or trade games, you can't do that unless you want to spend £40 on it

Microsoft teamed up with EA... do i need to go into detail?

Xbox one reveal showed how it can play tv and sports... THATS ALL THE REVEAL SHOWED!

Microsoft employee called people backwards for wanting backwards compatibility.

Xbox one needs to be connect to the internet once every 24 hours, if you wanted to play at you uncles house but he doesn't have internet, #Dealwithit you can't play your xbox one there.

The used game thing is flat-out rumor at this point, and it's more and more looking like inaccurate rumor at that.  From updated stories, it appears that there WON'T be a fee to play used games on XBOX ONE.  The "check in" system will likely be used to remove gameplay data from an installed game if their database shows the game has been sold to an approved vendor of used games, at which point someone can go to that store (Gamestop, etc...) and buy the used game, and likely get an activation code and the game disc will officially be theirs and only theirs.

Microsoft will it appears take a cut from the retailer...and yes it'll be up to the retailer to decide how or if to pass that along to the consumer...but I cant see Gamestop charging more than $55 for a used game if the new price is still $60.  They'll just have to eat it.

Yes, though, it appears that you won't be able to lend a game to a friend to play or try out, with SUCKS, but I'm thinking we'll see an increase in demos with this next-gen anyway.

I've considered a few times selling my Wii U, but I've decided to keep it, even though I only have 3 current disc games for it and Super Metroid (and Wii sports!!!).  When the first-party Nintendo stuff starts rolling in, I'll regret getting rid of it if I do.  I will for sure be getting PS4 and likely XBOX ONE since I have about $1,600 in gamestop credit I need to dump on something, but I won't abandon Wii U.

This is why i'm glad Iwata is becoming CEO of NOA, by the end of the Wii U's lifespan Nintendo should have a good insight of the west and it's gaming trends and build the Wii U's successor to accommodate these trends.

Is it really that difficult to pinpoint the trends that sell in the West?  Large libraries of good, easily accesible games.  Competetive graphics.  Value for the money. 

For better or worse that's all gamers care about.  I own and (kinda) enjoy my Wii U still, but they basically screwed the pooch on all 3 of those requirements with it.  And like the article says, at this point I completely agree that a couple blockbuster titles aren't going to move units.  Especially with PS4 and 720 about to take everyone's money for the forseeable future. 

I'll buy Sonic Racing Transformed and Lego City when they're both under $20.

X looks really nice, but its not PS4 level stuff.  The good thing about X is that it will be tailored around what the Wii U can do well.  To me, X looks like it takes a lot of influence from Anime, and that graphics style should hold up very well on the Wii U.  I am certainly excited to see more of this title, but people need to get past the Wii U vs PS4 debate.  PS4 is more powerful hands down, that doesnt mean it will have better games.  I can gaurantee that the Wii U will have more than enough great games to justify the purchase of the hardware. 

I own a Deluxe Wii U and I've stuck with it and I'm keeping it at this point, but I question when all those great games will be here.  2 years?  The console seriously may not survive that long.  People don't give a crap about promises anymore and nobody is buying this thing.  I know all the game that are "coming", but Rayman Legends was coming (still is at some point).  Games are either being canceled or being announced as "not coming" to Wii U it seems every week.  Like I said, I won't be ditching the Wii U at this point, but I can easily see myself just waiting until every game I want for it drops to $10 or $15 (or $25 for first party titles) and just spend my money and credit on PS4.
