Seeing the PS4 and Xbox One announcements reassured me that I made a decent choice with the Nintendo WiiU. I'm not really a loyal customer for either Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft. Switching from one console to another kept things fresh for me. I switched from Sega Megadrive to Nintendo64, N64 to PS2, from PS2 to X360 and now back to Nintendo. I had a Gamecube and Wii too but didn't use them as main station, resulting in only a handful of games.
Seeing that Nintendo will deliver some big games and already owning some really fun titles, combined with the potential back catalogue of the Virtual Console, I have no doubt that I will have to choose wisely when purchasing software.
The Xbox One has no focus and one of the selling points for me would have been backwards compatibility. Foreseeing that the 360 could die on me within years, months or days and that it still has so many games left that I haven't played would have been a selling point. Next to that it would mean less cluttering in my tv cabinet. Why would I stick with MS? I played all big titles, Mass Effect, Halo, Gears and Forza...and being awesome at first (especially since I had to miss some exclusive titles in the previous generation) they became more than dull at their 3rd iteration within 1 generation. Somehow Nintendo always seems to keep things fresher, same IP, different experience. And with all GFX focus...I'm just happy with what the WiiU can do, wasn't that impressed with the generational leap MS or Sony showcased.
The PS4 seams more creative but lacks the sheer amount of creativity the Nintendo Studios have. But all consoles, even Nintendo don't support Europe with all their TV options. When looking at that Wii TVii is so small I wouldn't even use it. But with the One, it's like their whole system is build around TV experience, and we will mis most of that.
I play a lot OffTV and only PS4 supports that....but I'll have to buy a Vita too. Add that to the price of the PS4 and it's will start to sound ridiculously next to the price of the WiiU.
The 3rd party studios like EA and Activision really have no clue. They where betting that PS4 and Xbox One would blow the fish out of the water...but they didn't. By the time either the Xbox or PS4 will be on the shelves Nintendo will have their 2nd wave of games shipping. I think that is what E3 will be about. MS and Sony will all be about trailers and maybe in game shots of games that still have to live up to the hype these trailers will create (remember Vita). But Nintendo's will be about Experiencing the games...playing them. Isn't that the reason why we loving gaming so much? I'm sure MS will show a next Halo, Sony another God of War, Epic another Gears...EA some more of the same sports games. When looking at the WiiU, I think Ubisoft will be a more creative studio than most others.
Apart from that the WiiU will have its second christmas this year and I've already seen systems being sold for 250 or less. So by december I can only imagine that being even lower. Compare that to the prices of Sony and MS, I really can't imagine them being 399,00 or less.
I'm looking forward to E3!
