You should perhaps stop making random guesses that you can't back up with any kind of concrete data.

I don't know what guesses you're talking about. I said 'think' in all of my arguments. You do know how they figured out the structure of an atom, right? They basically felt around in the dark. Even if you define my thoughts based on observation as guesses, your guess is as good as mine, but I'm the one actually throwing around guesses in the first place.

For example, iPad needs Mtn. Lion as an OS, that's not a guess from my perspective.

EDIT: You might think iOS is the best OS ever, and it doesn't need to change for the better(Mtn. Lion). That's contradictory.

lol. They discovered the atom using research. Not "hurr I think there's an atom there"

You're guessing. At a time where the entire corporate and consumer markets are transitioning to more online services, and more complex online services you're guessing that physical media will become more important in the next gen than it is this gen. At a time where digital downloads are catching physical box sales and expected to overtake over the next few years by every analyst out there (the people with the data), you're saying digital services will be less of a focus on the PS4 and Xbox whatever. Because you think.

I'm all for people having opinions. But if you can't back up your opinions with anything other than anecdotes and "it's my opinion," then you're hard to take seriously.

And in this case, you are completely incorrect. Digital services, download games and online infrastructure will be more important with the next gen of Sony and Microsoft consoles. That's not opinion. That's fact, as supported by both research and data.

We'll see. The past doesn't always affect the present and/or future. Did you know that there is a photon particle faster than light, and teleportation is possible? Once you run into an invisible wall, maybe you'll think there's a wall there, right?

Why is it that with half of your posts the only response I can even think of is... "what?"

Did that last post have anything to do with video games, or was this someone's attempt at discussing science on a Nintendo forum?

Honestly I am not that worried about it. If it does bomb like everyone think it is going to I am still going to enjoy it while its around. Heck even if and when it does go I will still be enjoying it like all have all my systems.

Just have fun with your Wii U. That's what it boils down to. We can sit here and conjecture, make passive aggressive comments directed at one another, and simply play armchair CEOs all we want- but we just have to wait and see. If you like Nintendo and the Wii U, then support them. That's all there is to it.

To be fair, some publishers were going to abandon PS3 in its first year

And yet, we'll all still continue to argue...

lol

I just wanted to add this in the middle of the conversation as I thought it was a brilliant example of I see Nintendo thinking with the Wii U. Obviously it's Tim Cook and he's talking about Apple but it's funny how similar it sounds to Nintendo's approach when it comes to throwing ridiculous specs out there and maybe it's an even better example of pointing out to people that they need to stop worrying about Wii U being overshadowed by ultra powerful competitors machines.

Taken from MacRumors.com:

Cook focused his comments on the user experience, saying that was more important than specifications. Answering a question about larger screen sizes, Cook had this to say (transcript from Macworld):
I don't want to say what we will do or won't do [regarding a larger screen for the iPhone], and so don't interpret anything I say along those lines. Let me go back and compare it to the PC industry for a minute. The PC industry over the years, the way that companies competed were two things: specs and price. And so people would want to say, "I've got the largest drive," or, "I've got the fastest processor," or in the camera business people began to say, "I've got the most megapixels."

The truth is, customers want a great experience, and they want quality. They want that "Aha!" moment each time that they use the product. And that's rarely a function of any of those things. These are things that technology companies invent because they can't have a great experience, and so they talk about the spec of something.

Good quote. Ironic that it came from Apple considering so many hate the company, but it still speaks the truth

I think the i products were VERY cool for a while, but they're not adding very much diversity year to year. There's differences for sure, but developers rarely go past what iPad 2 or iPhone 3G can do. Even my brothers iPod nano from 2009 can do 95% of what an iPod nano today can do. The i products have alot of potential, but never push it to the max. Siri is NOT worth paying an extra $100 for, at least not right now.
iOS needs to start running full software like a Windos 8 tablet. It's inevitable full software is going to outshine apps, and while apps definitely have their appeal(and will even when full software is around), Apple needs to get computer OS programs on there. We all know it can, it just won't.

you have a very good point
