I haven't been keeping up-to-date with these things recently. When is it supposed to come on television? I haven't read much about the Wii U either, could you provide link to an article about it? I'd have to do more research on these things before I can give a solid opinion. But I'd say that the PS3 will win, I suppose, since it's geared more towards gamers rather than family and friends gameplay.
I say this because people don't care that it's 50% more powerful than the playstation 3 and the xbox 360.
How can the Wii U be 50% more powerful than both the Xbox 3600 and PS3 when the PS3 is more powerful than the Xbox (you just don't notice this in today's games)? Also, your only source of information shouldn't be IGN.
I would say that the Wii U will sell more, just like the Wii and the DS. It'd more directed to families and I guess most people with a Wii will get a Wii U ('cause you need a Wii for the U to work) so they'll get pretty high sales numbers.
Though the PS3 wins all the other stuff for me though, even the 360 would. Games and such.
people are thinking the circle pads should change into analog sticks. I think the same too.
I prefer the circle pads, because they are a little more similar to the ever-so-classic D-Pad in design. And honestly, they just feel more comfortable.
