and wii u is just lame
i bet u never played it... Xbox1 will stink, Ps4 will be good, but WiiU will always be better. The other companies beat nintendo's wii, (Even though wii sold most) but Wiiu Is 100 times better.

First off the Wii barely sold more than the Xbox 360 and PS3 and it doesn't make much of a difference and it could be because the price is lower. Second the PS2 sold more than any system ever.

Nintendo did horrible with the Wii U the system specs match the Xbox 360 except they have 2gbs of Ram and the 360 only had 512mbs now the Xbox One is supposed to have 8gbs of Ram and the PS4 is supposed to have 16.
They both blow the Wii U out of the water.
The thing I will say about the Wii U is it is about time they got HD graphics because the 360 and PS3 always have had that.
Nintendo will and is gradually falling off the pedestal of gaming. This last console is probably the worst release time ever with minimal specs

The Wii U is already the worst console out there. That won't change.

Okay, who's talking bout the PS2? I have every system (except the gameboys or dreamcast) and aside from wii, I liked nintendo's systems more than the others of that time.

Nintendo did horrible with the Wii U the system specs match the Xbox 360 except they have 2gbs of Ram and the 360 only had 512mbs now the Xbox One is supposed to have 8gbs of Ram and the PS4 is supposed to have 16.
lol, the xbox 360 and ps3 have been around for 7 years. WiiU has been around for 7 months, if that. Don't start judging WiiU's sells. It hasn't even had its major price-drop yet. Xbox1 is just a PC basically. PS4 is supposed to have 8 GB of RAM. Also, WiiU is cheaper that other companies last generation consoles. Nintendo is full of good business men, they make it cheaper for a reason. Nothing's gonna be wrong with the PS4, it's just that me and all my friends aren't gonna by it, and certainly not the xbox1.

The Wii U is already the worst console out there. That won't change.
Lol, why? You're just jealous. It's already predicted by all third part publishers to do best. They all turned away from nintendo, but when they heard about the other systems, they turned back. Like EA, Rockstar, etc.

It's funny how that is complete bull****. The Wii U is dead to EA. It can't work with Frostbite so EA is abandoning it. And GTA V is not coming to Wii U.

Nobody is comparing years to months, they're comparing the Wii U's opening sales to the equivalent opening sales of the other consoles.
And no matter how you spin it, they're atrocious. That's solid unarguable fact.
Did you know this April, just last month,the Wii is rumored to have sold more units the the Wii U?
The Wii U can't even outsell the console it's replacing after it's replaced it. It's doing really bad.

You know what's another good point you inadvertently raise?

the xbox 360 and ps3 have been around for 7 years. WiiU has been around for 7 months, if that.

Exactly! Why in god's name is the Wii U barely as powerful as the decaying corpses that are this generation's consoles? It even has less storage space.
Besides, having 7 years on them is a great advantage, because that means they have a selection of great titles going back 7 years, to the Wii U's piss-poor library.

You're just jealous.
What in the name of **** do you mean? I'm jealous of a console? Are you completely mentally ill? Is that the sheer amount of logic-stretching you need to do to believe in your own arguments?

It's already predicted by all third part publishers to do best. They all turned away from nintendo, but when they heard about the other systems, they turned back. Like EA, Rockstar, etc.
Pardon my French, but that's bull****. We haven't seen many games on the next-gen consoles because they're keeping that stuff for E3. There's going to be a ton of launch titles on the new consoles, many/most of which won't be on the Wii U. The Wii U's third party support is abysmal and will only get worse.

Yeahhhhh, about that.....
"Dead to EA" is an obvious exaggeration, but to quote the article you posted:
âWe are building titles for the Nintendo console, but not anywhere near as many as we are for PlayStation or Xbox." That means no Battlefield 4 and FIFA 14, for instance.

They make it cheaper because it is cheap. It is cheap quality cheap parts. And the Specs that is does have are equivalent to the Xbox 360 and PS3 and its a 8 GEN CONSOLE!!!!!! and it already only barely amounts to the 360 and PS3 meaning the PS4 and X1 will blow it out of the water. Nintendo are complete idiots for releasing such a terrible in comparison to X1 and PS4 consoles.

What I've managed to salvage from that mindless garble is that you think that we can't compare the WiiU to the PS3 and X360 because they are older and supposedly we should compare it to the PS4 and X1?

And In January 2013, the Wii U sold 57,000 units in the US. By comparison, the original Wii sold 435,000 in January 2007, also two months after launch.
You tell me which did better

I think the PS4 is going to win the battle of the 8th generation. Wii U can't compete, and the Xbox One is just a mess.

Kinect is always on. Kinect's microphone is on even when the Xbox is off, and the X1 has to be connected to the internet at least every 24 hours for it to function. Then there's the used game stuff. Xbox Live is still a paid service. It has a GPU that is weaker than the PS4, and most of the features that were shown off are USA only.

If you're up to date, you'll realize that they just signed up.

And yet they are still holding the PS4 and X1 in higher favor.

Please do not make things up. Sources would be great. Here I detail the amount of units sold after half a financial year.

The Playstation 3 was released November 11th in 2006.

The Wii U was released November 18th in 2012.

The Xbox 360 was released November 22nd 2005.

Sony expected to sell 6 million units by the fiscal year ending in March 2007. Only 3.68 million were sold, falling short of that mark.

As of 31 March 2013, Nintendo reports 3.45 million units have been sold worldwide.

As of March 31st, 2006 the Xbox 360 has sold over 3.2 million units worldwide.

Actually I have no prejudice for any system because I play on the PC but I do know facts and the facts are that the Wii U barely beats the xbox 360 and the PS3 even though it is newer. I do know that the Wii U sold worse than the Wii and it was unexpected for NIntendo. I do know that the PS4 and X1 will be better than the Wii U based on the Specs meaning
The Processor
Ram
and Graphics
They are all going to be better than the Wii U, and if they aren't then you can come back and call me whatever you want. But I can guarantee that the PS4 and X1 aren't downgrading.
And the reason why the Wii sold more could be because of many reasons:
It was released in Japan first
It is Cheaper than the 360 and PS3
The NIntendo Wii came out before the other consoles

Well **** my *** and call me a ****. My information was wrong.

Still, so what it's not selling badly? It's a terrible console nonetheless. Please don't mistake disproving one argument for disproving all of them. Most of which are being conveniently ignored.
