Wii U is video game console. Wii was a toy. Also i can't take any game with motion controls seriously.
They're both toys. All consoles are toys. They exist to entertain the user by means of playing games. It's not even that you don't like the console - you don't like the controller. Too bad, so sad, I was okay with the Wii Remote. In fact, I found it quite comfortable due to it being separated into two parts.
There's a generational gap between the two systems, of course one is beefier than the other. Comparing the two on the basis of emulation performance is just silly, we compare the systems on their merits from the days when they were new, otherwise the newest system will always be "the best".
Sure, it's backwards compatible, so it's effectively the Wii and then some. It makes sense to own a Wii U rather than the Wii, unless you want to play GC discs instead of ISO's.Homebrew is my primary reason for keeping my Wii U, actually, I've stopped using the Wii because the Wii U does everything the Wii does but more, IMO
>GC
The Xbox sold a couple MILLION more units than the GC,relax. Also the GC is infinitely better than the Xbox.
The original Xbox is ahead of the Gamecube by over two million units, and that was Microsoft's first attempt versus an industry behemoth with decades of experience and unparalleled brand recognition. It's also an excellent system with a great library of games, top notch first and third-party releases that launched IP's which are going strong to this day. For all intents and purposes it mopped the floor with the GC, and they hardly even tried - they just retrofitted PC parts. The GC was so easy to beat it's almost laughable.
I meant a couple million obviously and yea 2 more which is not "pounded into the ground" MS didn't try? lol the original Xbox is the only time they ever tried with original IP'S and Japanese directed content such as RPGs it wasn't just COD PEW PEW shooters and Forza yet. To call MS "NEW" is funny they had been involved with gaming for years and people like to forget they had a VERY LARGE part in the Dreamcast the Xbox was really the Dreamcast 2.
2 million units is a big deal - it's almost 10% of the total sales. Microsoft was associated with PC gaming, most notably their Gaming Zone back in the 90'ies, their Sidewinder controllers and DirectX - they were completely unknown and inexperienced in the console sector. Microsoft was not "a big part" of the Dreamcast - they merely licensed modular Windows CE distros as an alternative for the standard, native SEGA development kit (KATANA) allowing games to run on-top of CE. Most DC games do not in fact run on CE at all. The Dreamcast itself has nothing to do with Microsoft, however it was designed with Windows CE compatibility in mind, which is why it's similar to a PocketPC in terms of hardware (SH CPU, PowerVR GPU). It doesn't actually have Windows on-board - that's why it says "CE Compatible" on the case, and not "CE Embedded". Common misconception. As for the Xbox being the Dreamcast 2, SEGA did approach Microsoft and tried to establish a backwards compatibility deal, but those plans fell through. As far as Microsoft and new IP's are concerned, they've released new ones with every iteration of the Xbox - the original had Fable and Halo, the 360 had Gears and Fable, the One has Quantum Break and used to have Project Spark. I own all four systems from that generation, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.
