punches << LINK REMOVED >>.waiting for the next turn.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> You're right. The hardware is better... which is what everyone said before it was released.

"the hardware is better, if only because it uses newer hardware instead of better hardware"

So, yay? I guess.

WiiU has modern hardware, but it still doesn't have more power, it simply is made more reliably.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Who said anything about graphics? While we are on the subject the Wii U produces better graphics than either the Xbox 360 or PS3.

<< LINK REMOVED >> The hardware is better in the Wii U than the PS3 and Xbox 360 and the reason you won't find The Last of Us or Halo 4 on the Wii U is because they are exclusives to those consoles you moron.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> i thought console gamers doesn't care about graphiches. -_-

<< LINK REMOVED >> That's got nothing to do with the hardware which is what you suggested was the problem in your orginal post. Also third party games can be successful on the Wii U. You'll see that with Mario and Sonic at the Sochi Winter Olympics and depending on how Ubisoft utilise the Gamepad for Watchdogs and whether or not they'll gimp the game for the Wii U, that could be a bigger seller as well.

Also look at how well Capcom's Monster Hunter 3 has done on Nintendo consoles and Monster Hunter 4 is selling very well in Japan on the 3DS, so it's a myth that third party games don't sell on Nintendo consoles.

@dogbert784 I know that GTA V has shifted more units 8million + on the PS3 compared to the Last of Us which has shifted 3-4 million + units to date. Sony and Microsoft rely on third party developers and publishers to sell their hardware. Nintendo's first party games sells its hardware.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> You clearly don't know anything about Sony's first party studios.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Nintendo is different to Microsoft and Sony in the sense that Nintendo first and second party software sells their hardware where as Microsoft and Sony rely on third party support. A lot of third party developers cannot compete with Nintendo franchises on Nintendo consoles and so back off from Nintendo hardware altogether, but I reckon third party games can achieve success on Nintendo formats providing they appeal to the Nintendo fan base and aren't gimped or delayed so they can appear on other platforms.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I just wish I "wanted" to buy more games. It's been a long time since I salivated for a Nintendo property.

They're fun games to play with my wife, but I miss really truly wanting to play a Nintendo game.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I agree and disagree.

They do appreciate quality work, but there is a mainstream that Nintendo needs to be a part of to be a force in the gaming world.

Quality work that is internal is rewarded but Nintendo made systems that were greatly out of synch... those that worked within that system were benefited and grew because of it, but as N was no longer a dominant force they did not facilitate the changing landscape. Even with that, N supported their own efforts far more, and game developers that were a part of each generation struggled to compete against N's own shelf space and promotion departments.
Retro and Platinum have each remained small companies, and not done well against mario and the like.

But as a gamer, I want a great Nintendo console... and I don't feel I have one. Can't keep telling myself maybe the next system or the one after that.

<< LINK REMOVED >> This is it and Nintendo has worked with TT Fusion to make Lego City Undercover and published the game for TT Fusion. Hell, Platinum Games loved working with Nintendo so much that Kamiya wants PG to become a second party developer for Nintendo.
