Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on Wii U? Possibility?

[Kagato]

Time for everyone's favorite game show: FACT, FICTION, or OPINION!

1) Nintendo's only just as strong as the 360/PS3. It's running old hardware.
FICTION - It's been proven that WiiU's launch graphics are as powerful as a 360/PS3 at their high points! And since it's supposed to be common knowledge by now that launch games don't use the resources of the system fully, this ultimately means (and from statement from developers such as Epic and Crytek) that the WiiU will be more powerful than a 360/PS3 in the end.

2) Nintendo's games are childish and only appeal to casuals.
OPINION - Everyone is entitled to their opinions on a console's games, but it's ignorant to state this as fact because games that one person may say "sucks," another person may love. For example, I vastly prefer Battlefield 3 to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I think MW3 isn't as good of a game. That's an opinion. Not a fact. "Mario is for babies" is an opinion. Not a fact.

3) The next playstation and xbox will be more powerful than the WiiU
FACT - While it remains to be seen just how big the difference is, it's safe to assume the tech that Sony and Microsoft is going to put into their newest systems is going to try and beat the WiiU. However, what you need to understand is that upgrading equipment and boosting graphical power is going to significantly raise development costs, therefore companies will be struggling to make a profit to develop their games unless they raise the price for games. Would you pay $80 per game? $800 per system? This is a very possible future if the "graphics boost" everyone expects out of 720/PS4 becomes a reality. So it is entirely possible the next gen consoles will be stronger... but at what cost? We already lost several developers to bankruptcy THIS generation after all.

4) Nintendo lost this generation because it had no games!
FICTION - Nintendo is a business. Businesses are in it for the money. Even if you don't like the games on the Wii, it still sold the most units and Nintendo did in fact make the most money on it's brand. Doesn't matter if your Wii is collecting dust right now or not. You still bought one. That's money for Nintendo.

5) This is Nintendo's last console. They'll die after this.
OPINION - While it's impossible to predict the future, this is still an opinion. But if the past is any indication, Nintendo is likely going to stick around.

@3: thats exactly it, only feature of xbox and playstation is their horse power, but what point is there in even further increasing them? raising dev costs is all it does. nintendo simply chose the right time upgrading the power to the standard 1080p which has not be a standard for that long.
