I mean, unfortunately Nintendo doesn't interest me anymore. the majora's mask remake for ds will probably be the last thing I purchase from them in a long time.

I think they lost the console war :/

I read an article somewhere that Nintendo still makes amazing first-party titles for their console. But there is nothing about the console that actually entices people to buy it.

yeah im sure mario kart and all that are great. smash was fun when I played.

but theres no reason to buy the console over a ps4 or xbox one which has tons more titles and features.

I gotta admit the ps4 streaming thing and media share is really awesome. destiny was disappointing though :/

Splatoons, bayonetta 2, Zelda games in general(especially the upcoming open-world one), xenoblade chronicles x, Super Mario 3D World, pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, DK tropical freeze, etc.

To me it has far more reasons to buy a Wii-U than the xbox and PS4 has. For the vast majority of things i want to play on xbox/PS4 i can just wait for the inevitable PC-port.

Exclusives are what drive a console to me, if i can play it on PC i wont be motivated to buy a console for it.
I can't even remember a single PS4 exclusive from 2014 that i'd be motivated to buy a console for, infact.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

If you own a PC then PS4 doesn't have like a single game worth playing that you can't play on PC, XBOX situation might be a bit better maybe but WIi U dominates in exclusives worth playing, this could change in a few years though.

And if you skipped a few generations of Nintendo consoles like me you can play those older games on Wii U too. I was in the Sony camp for 3 generations but buying PS4 would not be sensible atm if you're primarily a PC gamer.

This is just my opinion of course, some people might consider the likes of Killzone and Destiny great console exclusives.

^And I got ninjad above as I afkd while writing.

Wii U is perfect for anyone with a gaming PC.

If all you have is a console, the Wii U is really not a first-choice system.

Gamer is obviously a broad title.

My father plays his Wii U every day and is looking to get an Xbox One. Nearing 64+ years old and still a cardiologist by day, I'd say he's a gamer, terrible at games, but still a gamer.

That's why I said barely. I aimed it so that the curve of gaming leaves mobile gaming outside of the definition

Playing tons of one game isn't hardcore gaming, it's hardcore "gametitle"ing

The term "gamer" is dumb anyways because its is just a term for a person who has a hobby. My brother loves games, but he also likes riding his quad and fixing cars. My friend plays all sorts of games, but hasn't been able to for like 2-3 due to having this pesky things called kids.

The base line for gamer is directly related to the person saying that they are a gamer and the people beneath them are not gamers. Still waiting for new groups to come up called "readers" and "moviers".

Your not a real music fan unless you like good music that I like. This is how I will define my hobby and personal taste, but putting down others tastes. Because if I don't enjoy it, it must be for babies.

A real music fan enjoys multiple genres and is willing to admit that every artist can produce something worthwhile.
