I don't even know why i guess cause its been so long since a new home console came out but i'm getting one of these on launch day if i can get a pre-order put in. of course if the eBay prices are right that's subject to change.

Hell No!

I just looked at the specs of the Wii U. The PS3 & XBOX 360 are better consoles than that crap.

They see me trolling, they hating.....
its not wise to cop any system at launch unless u got money to blow and don't mind buying another one before the gen ends

because that's exactly what you'll be doing when the hardware gets faulty, as it always does in the begining

I'm speaking on Xbox and PS3, mainly Xbox tho.


and I wouldn't know, the only Nintendo system I've ever owned was a Wii

Well then let me learn you up right quick so you don't go around passing out incorrect info or shorting yourself because of incorrect info.

Nintendo is what this thread is about, what anyone was talking about.
You said you only had a Wii, I'm sure it didn't break on you. You would of said that :hula:
I've had every nintendo system. Only the first NES would die over time.
Super Nintendo's dying was on some you broke it shyt, cuz mine or none of my friends systems ever died

Ditto with the gamecube and wii. No deaths, no glitches.

Xbox 1 worked great. Only had one system the whole time.
Don't recall any friends having bad systems either.

Xbox 360 had it issues the first 2yrs, Microsoft fixed shyt for free for 4yrs which is unheard of. But what is FALSE is acting like that is the worst.

Sony is by FAR the worst. The ps1? Everybodies PS1 died on them.
We had to put them bytches on there side to even work. It was damn near Nintendo NES like. I thought I had to blow a cartridge to get the damn CD to work in a playstation. shyt was rough...

PS2 and the infamous Disc Read Error is by FAR the worst defect in console history. It was widespread, started at launch.
And Sony denied it was even a problem until like 4yrs after the system was released.
The consumers ended up Suing sony and they won... sort of.
You would get a free game.. and they'd fix your shyt
You know.. if 4yrs later, maybe you got a launch system?
Hopefully you put that system in a box and just waited the 4yrs out.. cuz sony would then fix yo shyt
If you bought a new system? Well, you wasn't getting reimbursed.
They didnt' put 1 billion to the side bill gates style.

The ps3 was better than the ps2 in terms of less defects at launch.
And with it costing $600 it better not. But what I feared was they rigged it so it wouldn't be a widespread issue until after the warranty ran out :hula:

You just said yourself you wouldn't buy any console at launch because of...

You think sony isn't hip to that mentality? But if the ps3 can last a year or two, sony wouldn't have to worry about the consumers anymore.
Here we are now in year 4 of the ps3 lifecycle and how many systems have bit the dust? PLENTY
This is where a ps3 fanboy then enters to say Im lying or something?
Maybe I'm exaggerating because I'm really the fanboy.. yeah, thats it :stopitslime:

Top 4
Every system I bought at launch died on me or would freeze

Plus I don't love video games that much anymore to pay like 4-5. Bills

I never bought a console day one. It has to have a strong launch lineup for me to do that. I haven't been keeping up but so far most of the Wii U titles I've heard of are games that's already on PS3/360.

I got my eye on the Wii U though. I've been waiting to jump back on the Nintendo train since the N64 :to:
