It's basically a bunch of first party titles and games for kids.
Not really interested. Never really was.

That was considerate of you to preface your post with that, however I didn't take it as any sort of mean attack, you placed your argument with well touted facts (you had your opinions in there too obviously, but they didn't sway the facts) and I completely see your side of this. Hell I agree just about all of it, and I didn't mean to make a DIRECT comparison between the kinect and wiiU gamepad, the comparison I wanted to make was that it was something extra to the hardware, something that didn't actually give any sort of hardware boost to the console, therefore wasn't critical to my enjoyment of it. So I'm sorry for not thinking that through clearly and obviously generalizing it without realizing how someone else could take it. (Also, I would completely get a wiiU before an xbone, so just a side note I'm not remotely interested or a microsoft fan by any stretch).FillerDmon said:....

But the WiiU Gamepad and the Xboner180 Connect are two completely different beasts. With Microsoft, you could literally cover the extraneous device with duct-tape (and I've had friends who actually did this, because the idea of microsoft being able to even scan their heartrate during gameplay sounds horrifying to them), leave it facing the wrong way, and ignore it entirely, while still playing as is. Infact, Matt of Two Best Friends noted that he and one of his friends both used the thing once, and then ignored it, and it even stopped working entirely sometime down the line, not that either cared.
The problem with this is that Microsoft -swore- up and down how important the Kinect was, even if it was just an attempt at grabbing Motion Control sales last gen and this gen. The Wiiu Gamepad isn't nearly as revolutionary as the Wiimote motion controls were (and I fully acknowledge those are still a rather highly gimic-y option), at least they're trying something new that wasn't actually being threatened to be banned in a few countries for being invasive, and lots of good games (Pikmin and Mario Kart 8 are recent examples that come to mind) don't actually require it exclusively. Not to mention that 5 player local multiplayer, or the ability to fully play a console system in the same space as your friends, family, or room-mates watching something else is an experience that the WiiU Gamepad allows that neither other console allows for. Not exactly revolutionary, but it's something, at least.
Lastly, the Xboner180(minus that-thing-we-blatantly-lied-to-your-face-about) runs you $400, and a quick search (admittedly my search was just a bit of google) doesn't seem to tell me if you even get any games starting out with it. And as many have noted, you'd still be getting a stronger system with a PS4. The WiiU, meanwhile, has bundles sitting in the 300$ range, starting you right out with Mario Kart 8 or a different game, depending on where you look, which means the system itself is 250$. Considering the Wii was 200$, and the WiiU is more powerful and with a better online, I'd say the only thing it's missing to be better in every way and completely worth the deal is the lack of the massive Gamecube Library its ancestor had.
Not being interested is one thing. But your facts might have either been generalized (in which case, I apologize for having such a long stick up my ass; forgive me for ranting at you), or might have been a bit misinformed. I doubt I changed your mind at all, but I still felt the need to express my opinion.

I finally took a solid look at the poll, and the most surprising thing is how this website and others have such a "Nintendo's doomed" reputation, yet so many of the voters have already boarded the Nintendo Hype Train. Getting close between those who're the same against and the same for, but it seems this E3 did attract a few people, too.

Well, it's actually more of an issue than that. The Wii had a TON of customers but it didn't get 3rd party development due to the power disparity. See, Nintendo games are most often artistic and so don't require anything close to the amount of processing other games do (I also think this artistic design makes their games timeless in a way realistic games often end up showing their age before long until recently). So Nintendo puts out a console that's more than enough for their titles but usually really underpowered for typical 3rd party AAA games. That's why the most popular console of the 7th generation (the Wii) was passed up on for most 3rd party AAA games.FillerDmon said:I did go back and add that, in an interest of fairness. I just don't think I could make too much more broad a spectrum of options, especially since now I am completely out of slots.Lightknight said:Considering the strong offering of first party titles they showed it's forgivable not to consider that option. But it made me think, "Well, if it's still not enough then I guess 3rd party really is that important to me".FillerDmon said:I legitimately hadn't considered that as an option, though I think I'm running out of slots...Lightknight said:Where's the, "I was going to get one before but now I don't want to" option?
As for 3rd Party, it's funny. Some companies don't want to make games for Nintendo until they get more customers. Some customers don't want to buy the WiiU until they get more 3rd party games. It's and endless cycle that hopefully this e3 will break. I'm certain that they'll push out more units once Smash comes out, and that should hopefully be enough to get more people to ride the Hype Train.
? Only 16% of responders didn't want one before and now want one. I'm not sure which one you're adding to make it 30%.Dexterity said:Looking at the poll, taking the people who previously weren't going to buy a Wii U or have no strong feelings. About 30% have changed their minds and now want one. That's quite a lot.
Though at this point, I feel that even if the Wii U does suddenly crash and burn as a console, it'd be okay. There are enough games coming out and in development that it's enough to warrant the purchase of the console (for me at least).
My logic is, if a console has enough games for it that you want, but you can't afford all of them, then the console has enough games to be worth buying.
Can you tell me what the appeal of bayonetta is? Is it just gameplay or do people actually like the character? I find her actively grotesque. Like, extremely and distractingly so. As if a disfigured (disproportionate) unattractive librarian decided to start wearing skin-tight latex outfits. I suppose she falls directly to the bottom of my uncanny value (must be a crude joke in there somewhere...) but she also looks like an old librarian so there's just general issues too. It would be different if she were merely a character but they constantly try to flaunt her like she's attractive and it makes me gag a little bit. I get that young boys will go crazy over any female posed in a spread leg position but this is over the top.Eve Charm said:Considering bayonetta was one of the major selling points for me that was an title announced even before the wii u it self was released I believe, still calling the system a disappointment till the game is in my hands.
Oh and fire hopping ;p
Because it's Cool stylish and deep character action game that gave the "Good" devil may crys a run for it's money. I really don't care about " Omg look at that body " I care about stabbing things with a sword and shooting them with my feet at the same time ;pLightknight said:Can you tell me what the appeal of bayonetta is?
