It's not the End of this generation, it's the beginning of a new generation but not the end of the current Gen, the current Gen doesn't end till the stop seeling the Ps3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

Not what i was expecting from 'next generation' hardware, but, powerful or not, WiiU is obviously the first next gen console.

That arrival about the WiiU backwards compatibility kinda sucks, but I suppose with how GC BC was handled, not unsurprising. I might leave my VC titles on my Wii though.

Well Nintendo are following a similar path as the Wii. Initial stocks will sell out no matter and word of mouth with likely create hype. Will be interesting to see if it replicates sales of the Wii.

So this gen is "NEXT GEN" to you because the PS2 is still selling? So what do we call Wii U? NExt-Next Gen?

I think you need to re-think your logic.

PS. I'm super PUMPED for the Wii U. Let the haters hate.

Of course its still free. If you want to charge, you need to at least rival Xbox Live. Nintendo network doesn't do that.

I imagine that the Wii-U sales won't be as good as the Wii's, but still very good.

But who knows.

I don't think I've seen one ad on tv yet for it and IRS coming out in 6 days, this thing might flop harder than the 3DS. I think I will wait for the real next gen consoles to come out so I can play Rage 2, Doom 4, proper ninja gaiden, next gen multiplat that wii u won't get. Nintendo really have botched the hype train here all they had to do was show an epic trailer for metroid Zelda or f zero, but instead we get 2D Mario and p100 or whatever it's called.

Next year is packed for the 360? I can only think of gears judgment and I'm done with gears for a while its too early for a new one. Clearly all the major studios are working on next gen projects which explains the radio black out. E3 should be epic

the Wii U will have the best version of Ninja Gaiden, don't expect a hardware gap next gen like there was this gen, The Wii U sold out within too days of announced pre-order availability with Gamestop having 250,000+ people on a waiting list as well. The Hype will come.

Ubisoft is also supporting the Wii U like crazy, with most of the launch titles being from them.

zombieU looks awesome, Nano Assault, the Wonderful 101, TANK! TANK! TANK! looks fun, Bayonetta 2, and Wii U fit will be a popular title as well, all only available on the Wii U

Nintendo's Trademark IPs will come next year to keep the hype going.

You crazy? What else you gonna buy in terms of gaming hardware? An experimental version of Oculus Rift? A superdeluxe keyboard that shows the time? A PS4 or 720 that are bound to cost you more than a gaming PC? What will those two have to offer you in terms of exclusives? Unless you already have a gaming PC and are looking at this pile of money on a boring winter night and it's Christmas and nobody is buying you a drink or cuddling you warm, so you got as high as the cold stars, then I could see you skipping the Wii U for an entire generation cause you accidentily bought a PS4 or 720.

I had to make myself stop playing the highly addictive Borderlands 2 so I can start playing the finest FPS out now, Halo 4 and have yet to even pick up a copy of the finest racer this year, Forza Horizon so with that said and not even counting my huge backlog of unfinished games, there are games like the next Gears, Bioshock, GTA all coming within the next 6 months or so :shock: Yeah, I'm pretty well set for gaming and besides, what must have exclusive games are launching with the U?

Wiiyou
Save the "jelly" talk for a bit. WiiU is starting off (like many systems) with last gen ports for the most part, and even the original games like NSMB don't look particularly "next gen" at all. When we see some next gen Zelda or Metroid Prime or 3D Mario, or some PC/WiiU multiplats that leave 360 and PS3 in the dust, THEN it'll be time for talk of "jelly".
