@SoulReaper1337 You can't talk about portable when we're dealing with a home console here. It's all about software in my opinion, like always, and that's why I stay by Nintendo to this day!
@Master_Vexov I would be surprised to see the next Xbox or PS4 before 2014. By then the WiiU will possibly have a new Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros, Metroid, F-Zero, Mario Kart or even Zelda! That's without mentioning 3rd party content like a Red Steel 3 from Ubisoft for instance. Microsoft and Sony on the other hand will probably have some uber photo-realistic shooters.
Nintendo sure focus more on gameplay instead of graphical power, and even now I don't think it's gonna be such a huge leap compared to current generation consoles. The thing is that Nintendo knows they need that power in order to get 3rd party support or we would never see Mass Effect 3, Assassin's Creed III, Darksiders II, among others. 3D is an useless expensive gimmick as much as HD, and the WiiU Gamepad can be utilized while charging through an AC adaptor. Like many other gamers you're just whining for nothing. I completely agree with you on Zelda though, specially when the same people who bash Nintendo for only sticking with Mario, Zelda and Metroid want nothing but that in the shortest amount of time possible, while ignoring everything else a Nintendo system might offer.
"New Super Mario Bros. U doesn't work cooperatively" - That's what's plainly wrong with this article, not the picture guys! It works both ways as Tom doesn't try to explain.
You know Tom, often I think you're being too much professional for your own good. I would rather play a game which I think has "soul" like you said, because that would basically mean I was enjoying it. Who cares how flawless a game is if you don't feel anything for it? Then comes the question of what is objectively a flaw and what isn't. Why did Skyrim got a 9.0?
