The tablet for the Wii U is basically similar; a cool piece of technology that is being pissed away as a stupid gimmick.
So, you go all that without even using it? Yeah, ok.
On the flipside, you get incredible boners over it while having the same amount of experience.
Quite honestly, I've listened to the review I posted and I'll take Yahtzee's opinion over yours. It feels like the 3DS came out and you're just trying to find some way to think everything about it is amazing.
I used to enjoy Nintendo products, I rocked only a Wii and DS for years and was quite content with it. Then I bought a Xbox and realized the Wii is a completely inferior product in every way outside of having some decent platformers, which I realized aren't all that anyway. Then I bought a PSP and realized handheld gaming is more than just the DS and can have games that are quality over quantity.
And here I used to think you at least had some respectable views. In what ways is the 360 a better product then the Wii? The Wii changed things up, and got both Microsoft
and Sony to move into the motion controls. Innovative, and successful. The Wii has STILL outperformed the 360 and PS3 in terms of sales. Yeah, it doesn't have the best library of games, but it has far, far,
far more good games then you're making it out to be. Having owned all 3 consoles, the only thing the 360 has going for it is it's online service, which people seem more then happy to pay out of their ass for. The PS3 has bluray, and a bit inferior online play, but other then that, is nothing more then a really souped up 360 that can play Bluray, and thus have better graphics in game(And to some extent, though not often, better gameplay). As for the 360, unless you're a "hardcore" FPS lover, the 360 doesn't exactly have that good of a selection.
What, they're Innovative, and successful? You're kidding. The kinect was a fail, the move controlls pretty much sucked, you want a comparison look at No More Heroes. The move controlls sucked compared to the Wii. Also Motion Controll is just a fad, which they bought into. The only reason the Wii was successful was that it was advertise as a Family/Causal console and people were ohh and awwing at the motion controlls, which after people got bored of and now the Wii doesn't sell as much as it use too.
Also their is a big difference between a PS3 and Xbox 360, and they do have a lot better games then the wii does by far.
Same thing with the DS. It brought in two things: dual-screen gaming, and touchscreen. That touchscreen influence is now
everywhere. The DS also has, despite the amount of shitware, a
far better library then the PSP could ever have. You say quality over quantity, but I've yet to actually find a PSP game that didn't actually bore me to tears(P3P, Phantasy Star Portable(2)). The only games I ever really enjoyed on the PSP were remakes. Nothing else really appealed to me, of course I can't say I've looked all that much recently. Meanwhile, my DS gets played almost daily for games I actually enjoy, while my PSP sits on my table being played maybe once a month. And again, in terms of sales(and games, I'd bet), the DS still outperformed the PSP.
And like the motion controlls, touchscreen is a fad.
That's not to say the PSV will outperform the 3DS, or vice versa. But as is already obvious, people don't want to spend $250 on a handheld gaming console. The 3DS tried that. The PSV will
not be an exception at all. And you're foolish to think it will.
AS FOR the Wii U...well, I can't really see why it
would perform well. It's controller, while an interesting idea, doesn't look all that comfortable to use. At all. It's a huge tablet. A tablet isn't meant to be a controller, never was. (Unless it's used for touch-controls, like current ones do for games and emulators and whatnot.) It's not really going to appeal to anyone at all, and what made them think it was a good idea, I will never know.
