Everything else you can pretty much get on PC, and at possibly much cheaper price points (depending on if you can hold out for a bundle/Steam Sale or not). I don't know about you, but I don't see the point of the PS4 and Xbox One where I can have access to a much larger library with a Wii U and a PC.

So happy with my Wii U purchase. I'm not particularly interested in any of the Sony exclusives. What mostly keeps me interested in having Nintendo/Sony over Nintendo/PC is that (as far as I know) the JRPG genre is really lacking on PC.

Yes I have the Wii U and the One and I can definitely say the U gets sooooooo much more play time.  Games on the x1 are so sparce and far between.  Although PC still gets the most use.

Between my ps4 and wii u.
I play the ps4 much more but I do have a few more games on the wii u then the ps4 tho.

I don't own an x1, and don't plan on it since there isn't anything on it worth it to me.

But with the ps4 there are games that won't ever come to the wii u and I just gotta have (battlefield, mgs, gta, etc...)
But then same for the wii u. Kirby , smash bro, mario etc..


So I guess I'm in between.
I think it just depends on what type of gamer you are as to which system would have the most games

I haven't touched my Wii U since I got majora's mask and monster hunter.... then again, I've hardly touched majora's mask because of monster hunter..... I feel so guilty, I love zelda games like I love pizza, but it got over shadowed by my friends wanting to play monster hunter with me every minute of the day...

[Rockodoodle]

I have wii u and xbone. Xbone is cool, but i have to be in the mood to play it. Wii u has more games that i can play in short bursts.

[GAMER1984]

This is a good thread. I was playong through some Wii u oldies but goodies today. Lineup is so varied and great. ZombiU is still amazing and I love W101. Just too many great games to mention yet some still say its not worth a purchase and waiting on a 99 dollar Wii U with pro-controller

[Son Edo]

Yeah you know, it's just a matter of preference.

[Mewbot]

Aaaaaaand nobody is surprised.

This thread makes this recent news more relevant,

Does the XBONE not have a Bluray player too? It's a bit ridiculous that the Wii U doesn't to be honest.

honestly no its not.

 

think about how many people have dvd players or blu ray player. Why would you need your system to also play it.

In all of my life i have only play 1 movie on a system. It was long time ago i play a DVD on a ps2. Then i got a dvd player when i started to get more movies.

Got a blu ray player when i upgraded from then. I was never into wanting a system to play movies. Its meant for games.

Lol that is exactly the same for myself too. DVD with PS2 was a big deal. I still don't have a Bluray player though so I would've welcomed it.

[Raiden]

Also who buys blu-rays anymore? I mean seriously. Everyone either watches Netflix or uses Redbox machines. I only get a Blu ray for something truly special. Blu ray sales are falling. Heck even steaming services can do 4k now. I got a million things that can play a DVD and PS3 plays blu rays but I never use it.

[Marcus]

Haha, I still buy DVDs!

And I still have a VCR.

I also have a VCR and VHS tapes. Now have you played 45's in your time and 8 tracks? I used to jam to them.

[grahamf]

I watch maybe 1 bluray movie a month, and even less so. Plus I own a dedicated Bluray player that cost $60.

man thats old school lol....

I use to have one. I used it long time ago as a tv tuner for a monitor that had rca jacks.

 

but i buy only a few dvds, other then that its all digital i just download them. I got a media box for my tv last year so i use that for my movies. I even gotten a few free movies on the google store lol. I remember checking it one day and lord of the rings was free and 3 other movies.

[Raiden]

I have two CRT's in the bedroom and a VCR I use for older consoles.

[Rockodoodle]

There are only a few movies i would want on blu ray any way. Saving Private Ryan, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The original Star Wars. Possibly Riddick. I pretty much use Netflix and Amazon Prime for everything anyway.
