A lot of people are talking about how Nintendo sales are low and what it needs to do to increase sales etc and I'm thinking more and more people will do as I did and choose a Wii U.
Of course the new Xbox One and PS4 are more powerful than Wii U, but then again why would I need that much? PS3 has already pretty good graphics and Wii U benchmarks better than PS3.
I believe current games won't make any much on Wii U or PS4 or XONE, so I thought to myself why not get a Wii U and make my 3-year-old boy happier.
Don't get me wrong I like XONE, in fact I plan on buying one after April 2014 (Titan fall reviews and other releases), but now Wii U is the only alternative.
PS4 and XONE and very similar (some prefer PS others like myself prefer XBOX, but makes little sense to get both) and Nintendo was as always innovative with their system, Perhaps too much that they confused the general population in thinking it was in fact and accessory. I believe Wii U sales would be higher if the system was called anything else, Even WII 2.
The console exclusives and the family oriented games really did it for me. That's probably what XONE/Kinect lacks (hope they release nice kinect 2 games soon), but that wasn't the only reason. If you, like myself, live in Brazil you know that games are much more expensive here, but Nintendo's eShop is just very easy to use with a canadian or american account, so I can buy digital games for the same price as americans or canadians. Just as a comparison XONE and PS4 titles here cost 100USD
Anyway I just wanted to share my experience with you guys and let you know that I don't regret one bit my decision. I got a Wii U with 6 games for the same price of an XONE with no game.
As some like to say if you have virtual friends get an Xbox, if you have real friends get a Nintendo and if you have no friends get a Playstation
Cheers.
