I just want to say, Nintendo doesn't release fucking power houses because THEY ARE A VIDEO GAME ONLY COMPANY! Sure, they have billions in the bank, but if they release failure after failure they will go bankrupt. Companies like MS and Sony can push money from other departments to the video game department. So they can afford to lose money on one department. But Nintendo can't. And just because they make a console that wants you to change how you play doesn't mean it sucks. I like my Wii U, sure it isn't the greatest thing, but later on it will have great games. Those that say "who buys a Nint. console for third party games?" are partially right, but it is still a good option to be able to play it.

You guys just need to accept the fact that people have different taste. Who gives a shit if the Wii U is underpowered than the PS4 and X1. It gives you a new, fun (at least to me), way to play games.

@WingChopMasta wow it's amazing how defensive everyone gets.

@WingChopMasta @BadgerSnot Who ever said that I was a fan boy? I'm just saying this is hardly news any way. Video games shouldn't even be a sport. It's something you do to have fun and pass time.

Wow, gamespot does anything to give nintendo bad press.

The funny thing is, Next Generation consoles after PS4, Wii U, and X1, watch Nintendo make an overpowered console, with the same old fashioned ways to play like ps4 and X1. Then everyone will complain about how Nintendo is just copying, and only focusing on graphics.

I don't get all the hate at Nintendo. Like really, they want to appeal to a wide range of audiences. Why is that bad? They only milk Mario because it's an icon of the company. Look at it more realistic it will go PS4>WiiU>X1

Hey, at least they don't have to survive only on 3rd party support.

Then why put it on Xbox?

@Grey_Eyed_Elf @Bixchpudding What makes it a POS console? Just because it doesn't have super duper good graphics? Oh or is it because of the gimmick? DS4 is a gimmick with touchpad, Kinect 2 is a gimmick, Vita back touch screen, and controller for PS4 is a gimmick. Definition - An innovative stratagem or scheme employed especially to promote a project.
Everything is a gimmick. Nintendo just makes the funnest ones. Just because it doesn't have as much graphical power doesn't make it a POS.
