The Wii U Sells 10 million Units

You can't say that it can run 1080p at 60FPS when the games are like cartoons. Its a different ball game for the Xbox and PS4 with the titles they have to run.

You are saying that like it is a subjective thing. 1080p 60 is 1080p 60.
 
Nah you can't, the games are like DS games almost so of course they will run at 1080 at 60FPS. Its completely different chucking The Witcher 3 at a console. Hell chuck The Witcher 3 at a Wii U and the console will just explode.

Anyway, isn't this a PC forum, whats with the console click bait seeing as they are so "peasant" and hated around here? Ha.

That doesn't take away from the fact that it runs those barely demanding game at 60fps on a resolution of 1080 :p No one ever said that that makes it a better console than the Playstation and Xbox, it's just a very different console and you really can't compare them.
 
I'm just going off the quote from WYP "with a catalog of games which mostly run at 1080p 60FPS, which is fairly rare this generation".

Its only rare because its trying to run PC games level, unlike the Wii U.

Also what was that racing game that has been cancelled for Wii U due to lack of power recently? That shows just how good the Wii U is.
 
In my opinion, the Wii U is a pretty good console. It's half the price of the Xbone and PS4, it's just for a completely different kind of consumer, like people who love the Nintendo games, children, or even people that just want games to play with friends in their living room that don't involve realistic driving or killing people. Surely these games exist on other consoles as well but tbf the Wii U is pretty good at what it's made for.

When reading/writing an article about the Wii U you should really just forget that the other consoles exist for a moment, it's a completely different thing. That's like Tom doing a review of a low-end gaming system and basically going "Well yeah it can't keep up with the hardware I normally play with so it's kinda s*** isn't it" even though the system might be really decent for the price and for people who just want to game on low settings without spending too much money on it :)

As an owner of one, this is great news :)

I know everyone slanders them for being not as powerful as the Xbone and PS4, but they aren't really aimed at the same people.

What you get in that little package is a very well made and well thought out system. And just about every game for it runs at 60fps in 1080p and it doesn't look rubbish, it's all anti aliased and smooth and really nice. It's barely bigger than a DVD drive and makes very little noise at all.

yes they are a bit cartoonish, and stylised, but that's part of the charm, and it's not trying to be a PC like the other two. It's more about the gameplay and experience than trying to be a PC at 30fps with millions of jaggies and a god awful controller to play fps with.

The games are truly superb for it, the pro controller's battery lasts an absolute age and is very comfortable for extended games.

I've seen a few none believers actually play the games and all said it's great fun and works better and looks better than they expected. They're a fun little games console not a PC competitor, they know that and they make the games to suit it. And dya know what, they all kick ass :)

Moral of the story, don't knock it till you try it. They're bloody good fun.
 
I own a wiiu with a few games. to be honest its not a bad system. tho the lack of a dedicated lan can make multiplayer games frustrating. Im not regretting getting one but i still want a ps4 as well. I do most of my gaming on my pc.

Most people who own one are only interested in the Mario games, Yes it's a weak console hardware wise but you gotta remember it's mainly aimed at kids who don't really care about graphics ;)

Mario, Yoshi, Starfox, Donkey Kong, Bayonetta (not really for kids), Mario Kart.. oh and then of course there's Smash Bros one of the best beat-em-ups of all time...

All, really, really fun games. So aimed at people who want a fun experience :) as a console should be :P

yeah they stick with their existing IP's but they do them all justice!

Very true they are fun but most of the people that have them in my family and friends circles have them for their teenage sons/daughters.

The only IP I care about though is Zelda, The new one looks like it's going to be good :)

Oh yes and of course Zelda (how did I miss that?!) the footage they've shown of it so far looks ridiculously good, as with starfox, it's definitely on my pre-order list.
