  I think it is obvious that the Wii U will have the same titles as next gen systems this year. I think in 2014 it will be fewer and far between as the Xbox 360 and PS3 lose development support. Once that happens adding a Wii U SKU will be harder to rationalize as the base will drop dramatically for the potential install base.

  Call me when they make a real system able to compete with Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo should just keel over and join the ranks of Sega. They're putting out shit hardware, they're lucky they've kept the interest of some people with their gimicks but there will come a time where that won't be the case.

  "Call me when they make a real system able to compete with Sony and Microsoft." Well give me your #, because the Wii is the best selling console out of the current gen consoles.

  Right now I think Nintendo has the lead, but not insurmountably so. If Sony has a better release than last go around and manages to get Vita semi-useful, they might be able to steal it away. Especially if their upcoming first party content delivers.

  This is a rant. Whoever wins (whatever that means) gamers lose. Competition between sony and microsoft is in my opinion hurtful to quality of games and identity of console gaming. There's little to set this two products apart with a dozen exlusives from which only a few might appeal to any given gamer. By quality i mean optimized controls for controller you are using and constant 60 fps with no glitches which will never be the case when games are shared and are not written for particular piece of hardware. Wipeout hd was a reason i went with ps3 and not 360, which i have no intention of buying because most of the time it does the same thing as sony's hardware. Wii was something different and i bet there are many people who own either ps3 or 360 and wii. I recently played Metroid Prime and the first thing that struck me was how fluid the game was. Not only did it not drop frames under any circumstances but move camera/pointer all you want and the image stays as sharp during this movement as it is when you don't move. No screen tearing at all. Do i get the same feeling playing ps3 games? As a consumer back in the days you paid for a boxed game that was a complete product often manufactured up to high standards. What happens to my ps3 collection when updates are no longer available, what happens to my disc of Bayonetta which is my favourite game of this generation? It becomes not worthy of the price i paid for it at best and unplayable at worst. And the bottom line: DLC. I remember driving around in Burnout and coming to a place where i was invited to psn network so i could pay if i had intention of going further down the road. In the latest Need for Speed if you want the fastest cars you don't unlock them with beating lap times, you have to pay for them extra. That's plain ripping off a customer. I think that's enough... for now.

  At least you only pay around $2-3 for a smartphone game before it tries to get you to make in-app purchases. I don't dig iAP (but enough people do that it won't matter), but if I had to pay $60 for the game and THEN pay more, I wouldn't be a happy bunny!
