But the "Wii U has no games" argument was, equally, barely true at launch, nor is it true now.
I've not tried to argue that the Wii U has "no games" as much as they have "few games that interest me or that I can't get elsewhere in a superior or on par version".

I went into EBGames to buy a PS4 and the employee there literally talked me about of it after making me realize there were no games.

Maybe once they get their online streaming service going. Although it isn't currently planned for Canada.

Edit: I just checked metacritic for the current list of all PS4 games. Goddamn it really doesn't have any games. Everything of interest is on the PS3 or, funnily enough, the Wii U.

Wow I didn't even know eb games still existed.....thought they all converted to the Gamestop Empire. But yeah ps4 doesn't seem to have any games but indies and a few that are there or on the way(and sadly most developers are publishing a lot of the games cross gen still for ps4) or the ones that are existent cost way too much that do interest me(I just wouldn't pay 59.99 or 49.99 for a game like knack that one though it is fun from the demos is only worth 20 shipped to me maybe 25). Though wii u has a good chunk of nintendo first party games I want that are either out, coming out, or elusive(zelda hd :twisted: ). Plus quite a few others I wouldn't mind having...

There's still a lot of locations in Canada for reasons involving long leases. They are still Gamestop stores from a corporate standpoint, they're just still branded EB Games.

Yeah that too. No idea what Zing's BL is like though.

Decent Vita games are coming out fast and furiously though. Same with the PS3.
