Enjoy your crap games and endless Pokemon tie ins.
I used to have a Wii, but I gave it to my Sister in law for Wii Fit a couple of years back, due to an injury she has even worse back problems than I do.

If you want motion gaming though, Kinect on Xbox 360 > Wii Remote, and Kinect 2.0 on the forthcoming Xbox One will be even better.

Bearing in mind I have a Xbox 360 and some 45 games say on the shelf.

Re: Got My Next Gen Console Yesterday

I will acquire an Xbox One eventually, not next week, but eventually.
As for PS4, meh, I hate Sony so I will not be buying one of their consoles.

I'll be watching the price of the PS4 in the 1st half of 2014 before deciding if to go for an upgrade or not.

Re: Got My Next Gen Console Yesterday

PS4 Is In my opinion a better bet than Xbox One and I'm not even a Sony fanboy  Grin
Edit And that Is coming from a previous Xbox 360 owner and Xbox so that says a lot about my feelings towards Microsoft.

Re: Got My Next Gen Console Yesterday

I prefer the Xbox 360 controller to my PS3 controller.
I'm interested to see how the PS4 controller compares.

Re: Got My Next Gen Console Yesterday

I've been that used to Xbox controllers that I am taking ill with the Wii U gamepad. Mostly as the analogue sticks are a fair bit apart. The button layout I will soon get used to. And the Wii U pad moulds to my huge hands pretty  well.

Re: Got My Next Gen Console Yesterday

I haven't played the Wii U yet, but my nephew is getting it for christmas.....  Grin
As for the Xbox One, it is completely over priced, with less tech compared to the PS4.
Add that to the Nazi style way Microsoft are behaving, I will be purchasing my first ever play station.

Re: Got My Next Gen Console Yesterday

I'd be interested to know why i'll be a mug for buying for XO, and why the PS4 "is better".
The hardware is pretty much the same.  Other than exclusives that are available on both consoles, it's simply horses for courses and down to personal preference.  Sony don't even have the "online is free" argument any more.

Re: Got My Next Gen Console Yesterday

I don't think you are a mug Griff and I hope you enjoy your new console when you get It. I have my own feelings why I never bought a PS4 or an Xbox One and my own reasons for buying the Wii U.
