i agree except that they failed at marketing it . they have had press events for wii u everywhere and are having an event in new york next month. they havent even put out ads yet lol.

btw devs have said the wii u's infrastructure is really easy to deal with, btw it will be first to the market and third parties love new consoles to mess with the ps1,xbox360, NES, etc etc have had the most devs necause that system was released first.


if they think its just a controller then you arent explaining it right, or they just dont usually play videogames anyway lol.

that argument is old, the name wii will push at thing off the shelves faster than it would move without wii in the name. the name wii means socializing with people through gaming in the house and out, and the u means the experience will be personalized just for the gamer in you.

without the name wii u , the console would just not stand for the same thing.

They know it's a console after I explain it, but they think it's a controller without my explanation. And fine, that's a good explanation to why they didn't take wii out. BUT, the people who play ps360 are going to see the wii and think " underpowered junk" although they are uneducated and don't know what they are talking about, and the brand Nintendo has that same effect now. Sorry for bringing up a dead argument, I didnt know the reason they kept it in.

Nintendo will get the great games.

Console developers have really sunk into PPC development and will enjoy working with Power7 with its included PPC instruction set.

PC programmers will probably favor the Xbox 8 and PS4. But porting to Power7 from there will not be difficult. Especially considering a base P7 outperforms a comparable Intel i7. If the Wii U competitors go AMD, then the Wii U favors that much more.

In the end, it depends on two things: cachet and market. If it makes financial sense (and it will), then the developers will give their best effort in making Wii U games. Being that the Wii U is a powerhouse in its own right, it will enable studios to "show off" as well. Part of Nintendo being coy about the system's power is Iwata's philosophy. But there is another part - that they don't want to give MS and Sony a tip-off reason to freak out about the Wii U's specs and build better systems.

It's a win-win. Most folks I know will be buying a Wii U despite Nintendo's fail at marketing the thing. The games over the next year will do the talking and that's when people will stop guessing and go all in.

Personally, I believe the black Wii U will go great in my entertainment center and the GamePad would look at home on my coffee table, beckoning me to pick it up when I come home from work.

Very excited for this system and what it means for Nintendo. They clearly are focused on owning the videogaming market once again.

Its ppc 2.06 if I recall correctly.

Pretty sure microsoft is going x86, and a hunch sony too... Majkes sense they would try to alienate nintendo.
