This generation's consoles war , many people are arguing that the Wii U hardware is lacking. While I do agree that Wii U hardware-to-selling price is upsetting (is it considered on par with PS3 from '07? ) , I think the real argument here are games.

Supposedly Watch Dogs, Assassin Creed IV, GTA 5, and Dead Rising 3, and the next Final Fantasy were Wii U exclusives, don't you think Wii U is going to be killing PS4/XboxOne in sales? I honestly do. Actually I would buy a Wii U myself.

People are buying games from GOG, Humble Bundle, App Store, and DS and everyone is enjoying them and no one is complaining about bad graphics (for the most part). I think this can make us conclude that graphics power is not the issue here.

Whoever put the Wii U/PS3 AC IV comparison video , which one was supposed to be looking better? I have a rule if you can't tell right away which looks better it doesn't matter. PS3 looked slightly sharper though, am I wrong?

Well hardware doesn't bug me, and it never has. So what if it's not as good as ps4/xbone(which xb has never interested me since the original xb)? The first parties that they have is what keep me coming back. Heck I'm still very adamant in waiting for zelda hd, but I'm going to try and complete those I have and if I beat those before hd comes out, I'm going to start playing more games in the vein of zelda mechanics and everything ha ha

This makes zero sense at all, none of those franchises have ever been Nintendo exclusive.

To answer your earlier question, as a stockholder, I would rather see Nintendo hold onto its exclusive power-house franchises because that's all Nintendo has going for it right now. There would undoubtedly be a stock increase for Nintendo were it to port its games to the other platforms, but then you would see a massive crash as people stopped buying Nintendo hardware. What you're suggesting would ultimately remove Nintendo from the hardware business within a generation.

I think he meant to say, "Suppose [those game] where Wii U exclusives."

I hope we do see a new FF Crystal Chronicles on the Wii U. Those games are great.
