I think a 50 dollar price cut seems about right given that it should have been like that since launch.
I just don't understand you people. The Price of the WiiU is on the cheaper side for what it is. Next you'll want to only pay a Dollar per Gallon for gas. Which is where it was at when I was a kid or pay less to own a hotel than a house...
I will berate and laugh at every single person who buys and Orbis/Durango because that will be VASTLY over priced for the tech standard set here.
Hey man i bought mine first day without hesitation, but trully 350.00 for a console with outdated specs is a bit too much too ask to a mass audience, and exactly part of the success of the Wii.
It's modern tech. It's not as high end as what is reported from either the PS4 or 720 but you must be seriously brain washed to think that as a whole it is equal to or below that of the PS360.
There is just no way the gap from last gen is going to be as big as the current gen that's started with the U. You look at the UE4 tech demo and then the Zelda tech demo and what comes to mind? On a technical level yes that UE4 demo has a lot going on not found in the Zelda tech demo. But they both look great, there is nothing wrong with the Zelda demo. It is aesthetically pleasing and doesn't really leave much to be desired. When looking at Wii games, many were just downright ugly in comparison. Does anyone look at Toy Story and thinks it looks so much worse than Up?
For colorful cartoony games will the Wii U get Toy Story 2 while the PS420 gets Toy Story 3? I don't know, but if we did what's the problem? For realistic games I can't think of anything but FF Spirits Within and Avatar, don't know how they compare.
What's the best looking games on a top of the line PC right now? If Ps420 surpass that by leaps and bounds then I think there is slight cause of worry for the Wii U. Only as far as 3rd parties are confirmed, but they would hardly support Nintendo anyway.
Also why do so many people ignore that most games were optimized for the weaker 360? When I look at fighting game tournaments half of them are always on the 360 for various tech reasons, and then the first Baynetta was apparently a different game for the PS3. I don't expect Wii U to get all the good 3rd party games but I certainly expect much more than the Wii got.
Also can someone explain to me why Star Fox has not appeared on any current Nintendo machines? Also why was it so hard for Sega to get Knights ported over to the Ps2 and other machines? Were those games not optimized for their respective systems and simply just dumping them over on new hardware isn't as simple as fitting a small box into a bigger box? I ask in regards to current gen ports that developers had like 7 or 8 years to get used to while using Nintendo's unfinalized development kits for launch.
Here read this down below, I'm sure it is the exact opposite of what I just ranted on. I guess Wii U graphics are as good as they will ever get.
