I can't believe people even care.Horrible HORRIBLE system.
720 is not far and same price for much MUCH more.
Interesting, did you pick up a Wii U and trade it in already? If not, how would you know that the system is horrible? A demo of one game at your local Gamestop probably shouldn't merit an opinion of "Horrible HORRIBLE system".
Pray tell of your inside information on the next Xbox. What will it be offering that the Wii U doesn't do? Also, you already know the price and release date?
Of course, I'm not being serious with these questions, but my point is that you sound silly making such bold claims that are completely unfounded. A simple: I don't like Nintendo consoles would have sufficed, opposed to implying that you actually tried the Wii U, hated it, and have exclusive inside information on the next Xbox that says it will be priced the same and offer a better gaming experience. I also cannot wait for the next Xbox, but come on.
I thought I would share some of my impressions with the board and if anyone is still on the fence:
I've had about 4 hours with the console now and
It's a much more well rounded package than the Wii (obviously).
Switching from different menus requires some loading--it is not excessive or anything, but it definitely doesn't feel as smooth as it could be.
Nintendo Land will be a fun party game, but not substantial for a single player experience.
Zombi U is a bit unpolished, but has some great ideas and concepts that make it worth some play time. The atmosphere is great, but the graphics are a bit of a let down. I'm a big fan of the old Resident Evil games and I personally like the game very much.
The Control Pad is much more comfortable to play on than expected. Switching between looking at the TV and smaller screen for in game sequences can be a little disorienting at first, but once you know when to look where, it's a very cool concept that is well executed in the titles that I've played.
The range on the Control Pad is impressive, it seems to be around 30 feet (I tested this while streaming Netflix). Too bad that couldn't have gotten it to around 50 or so, that way I could use it virtually anywhere in my place.
The set up, updates for the console, etc. can take a bit. Downloads and installs included, it probably took a little over an hour. Each game required a patch, which took around 5-10 minutes to download and install. I think these times will improve once their servers are not being crushed with everyone getting updates at the same time.
So far, so good. Looking forward to some more game time, but I'll definitely be sticking to 360 for Injustice and other fighting games. Nintendo clearly has a stronger focus on core gamers with the Wii U, but without the inclusion of an ethernet port, it's clear that they're still not ready to be the one stop console.
