I just read that Norton Anti-Virus software to be sold on some Wii U units.. Do you guys know if PS3 and 360 have Anti-Virus software?

I had norton and wasn't a fan of it so hope that's not true.

If the Wii U had Norton on it it wouldn't be able to play games. Norton would consume every single resource the Wii U had.

I can't even begin to string together a response, this is so far beyond the realms of not being true. I don't know where you read this, but I suggest if said reading material is flammable... well, you know what to do.

I would honestly want a Wii U less if this was true.

Last time I used Norton Security software, it nearly destroyed all of my computers/laptops that I had it installed on forcing me to reinstall the OS's on them. Lets just say I don't like Norton very much.

BTW op, can you give us a link to this "source" you heard this statement from? No video game console in history that I know of made the user use pre-installed security software. I call this BS unless it comes from Nintendo's mouth.

Where the heck did you hear this? And why would a video game console have an antivirus program included on it?

Also, so I can mock it, post the link to the likely wrong article that you read this in.

well i dont know about the other norton users that were having problems with it but i been fine with it so far im doing nothing more simple stuff thats legit not typing into looking for something i dont know about all the time in google * which i use to do some years ago* so as you keep it like that you should be fine lol :P

im going to have to say that it is false from the fact that for the wiiu to have norton would to claim that the wiiu is a very open system like a pc in that regard
