well showing a zelda game, regardless of it being a tech demo or not, in 2000 before the console was released, then putting out a game that looks nothing like it 3 years later is a crappy thing to do.

they have a track record for doing shit like that or mentioning "coming soon" then it doesn't come out for years.

that is all i'm talking about here. who knows when the "next gen" mario/zelda/metroid are going to come out. and it is pointless to speculate based on their track record.

it was just as equally shitty as them showing us a mario tech demo that resembled mario 64, and giving us a piece of shit luigi's mansion at launch, and then another piece of shit mario sunshine years down the road.

Agreed, I hated the way they made Wind Waker. It was a good game but I think the art style was wrong for that type of game.

I thought Mario Sunshine was a decent game and I had fun with it, but it didn't really feel like a Mario game at all.

Selling a 360 for a Wii U makes little sense. God willing today Sony announces the PS4 coming out this year and then you can replace the 360 with a proper console (unless the 720 comes out, then you have an actual decision to make). Buy a Wii U now you're a gen behind in 8 months.

The Xbox exclusives absolutely 100% suck outside of halo. That's why. "Proper" console? You do realize that Microsoft has moved the Xbox from a gaming platform right? At least Nintendo still understands that the system is for games first and everything else is second. A gen behind in terms of raw graphics but the games for the new systems won't be the marvels you think they will. You will have a year of crap with only a couple real good games. It always happens.

With a high end PC with sli 670s running a 2560x1440 monitor, and a ps3...owning a 360 makes zero sense at all. Every single good game that I would even look at on the 360 will be on ps3 or PC and sometimes both and PC > console to me.

Gears of war sucks, forza is boring, halo wont see another release on the 360 so what is left? Kinect? Lol

Maybe not. When it comes to non-exclusives the Wii U, PS4, and xbox 720 as a group are all the same generation. And all are going to be 1080p which is going to be a continuing limit on the need for a lot more gpu power.

And the history is the xbox 720 and PS4 will be considerabley more expensive than the Wii U.

Rumor puts the ps3 at $429 and $529 depending on what one you get.

There are simply a lot of games coming to the wiiu that the 360 and ps3 will never get like Monster Hunter. Who knows about the next systems, but there are still a ton of unique titles that will just never go to Sony or Microsoft. If you disagree fine but it is my opinion that a 360 right now unless you have to have halo or are locked into gold because of your friends etc, is not a must have.
