Hardly surpsising Wii U has a better launch than PS3/360.

Could it be the fact that WIi U is next gen, was slighty cheaper, had much better launch games than PS3/360, has better controllers than PS3/360 and free online play?

I say all of the above.

Still not as successful as the original Wii, which made about 2.2 million units.

Молоту войн и рокоту гроз вольные рати верны, где ветром могучим из братины звёзд рунные стяги пьяны.

I wouldn't call them bad, I'd just call them dated.
Which was Nintendo's own fault.

You know, I think nintendo could have avoided 90% of that if they had just updated their shader libraries instead of keeping the cubes matrox-esque tech.

I mean just look at 3ds, there are people who actually whole heartedly believe the things almost 360/ps3/vita level just because it uses modern shader solutions.

A wii with re reveleations level shader work would.have probably killed 99% of the inane grumbling, and likely taken a lot of the bite out of the hd marketing scam, as 90% of the brainwashed masses cant actually tell the difference between image quality and graphical fidelity.

lolno, he doesn't talk.


I see what you did there

Still not as successful as the original Wii, which made about 2.2 million units.


Which was to be expected. But it is still amazing.

It was inferior.
It barely played PS2 games at launch.
Had a silly six-axis controller, and the GPU was inferior to the 360.

Also, do I even need to mention PC's ?


It was not, and is not, inferior. It was radically unique from anything else which was the downfall of the PS3. http://m.guardiannew...07/ps3vsxbox360

As you can read here from a developer, the PS3 wasn't inferior. Yes, the GPU was not as good as the ATI (of course not, Nvideia sucks lol) but the processor more than made up for it.

The question still remains if the Wii U's dependance on the GPU is a bad one. We'll see what the others do.
