What should you buy this holiday? (Assuming you don't own a Wii U yet!)
1. Is money important to you?
299.99 vs. 399.99
Then the Wii U is 100 USD cheaper.
2. Are games important to you?
vs.
(PSN Indie Games: Contrast, Resogun, War Thunder, Tiny Brains, Switch Galaxy Ultra, The Playroom (free pack-in), Putty Squad)
Then the Wii U has more to offer, plus it has full backwards compatibility with the Wii.
Are non-gaming elements important to you?
There is a lot to digest here but both systems have access to ditital streaming services, but the PS4 has Blu-ray and DVD playback functionality. Both systems have social offerings with respect to friends, but the Wii U remote has additional functionality such as a built-in mic and camera. The Wii U has access to TVii which has the controller act as a second screen, program guide, and remote. The Wii U has "Miiverse" which lets you share experiences, discuss games, or draw silly pictures (Ahem, LegendofNerd), to folks around the world. The PS4 has a sharing ability as well and also features Twitter, Facebook, and U-stream integration although it's scope is limited to your friends. The Wii U does not offer integration with Facebook, or Twitter.
The PS4 has Blu-ray and DVD playback and a different approach to connectivity with friends (a more in-depth game sharing ability and addtional functionality with Facebook, Twitter and u-Stream) but the Wii U's controller allows for addtional chatting functionality, and TV functionality. I levy the PS4 is the better pick by a small margin if non-gaming elements is more important.
What's important to you SystemWarriors? Let me hear your thoughts. :]
