Sony
PS4 has sold over 25 million which is ridiculous and ahead of the PS2 at this point

Wii U
Splatoon helps push Wii U past 10 million which is ridiculous for the opposite reasons that the PS4 sales are ridiculous

Wii u Games
This is the part that interested me, over 5 million copies of Mario Kart. Over half the Wii U console owners have Mario Kart. Despite shitty sales for consoles, the games are selling great Their other games have sold real well too.

You're on a roll this morning. I think Nintendo messed up calling the wii u a wii u. People who have no idea about video games assume it's the same thing as a wii

When I was 10, I thought the Dreamcast was an add on for the Sony Playstation.

Turns out if you use that against them and just played PlayStation instead, that didn't work

I play PS3 and I`ll be getting the ps4 soon, and I don`t know what the difference is in the Wii and Wii u. I bought a Wii thinking it would be fun, but I just couldn`t get into it. It`s collecting dust now.

That's how I feel about the Wii U. I haven't bought a Wii U game since Wind Waker HD. It was worth it for 3D World though.

I love the wiiu.

The gamepad is awesome. Something severely missing from the other consoles.

Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Windwaker and Wonderful are awesome.

It's just a great console all around. And it works. Without a problem.

Not sure what this means. I have a WiiU and an XBone and they both work without a problem.

I love my Wii U it just needs more games, Splatoon is damn good we just need more.

And those are crazy numbers for the PS4, I don't think anybody predicted the huge swing in market share that Sony would have.

It's insane. They have just nailed the launch and marketing from the beginning.

Wait people like the Wii U gamepad? That was my least favorite thing about the console. At least add another controller in the box. Hated using that big thing. It was only good for when I had to poop.

Some people do but most don't. The people that do are in denial that others don't

Sounds about right.

What is with the range on that thing. I could barely go 30 feet without it losing connection.

30 feet is probably too much. More like 20
