Over the years Sony and Microsoft have dominated the console market. With the release of the PS4 and Xbox One, many people overlook the Wii-U. Today you will learn why you should un-friendzone the Wii-U. You should consider a Wii-U for its price, its performance, its exclusives, and its hardware. [b]-Price[/b] Our first subject is price. While the Playstation 4 and Xbox One float between $350-400, the Wii-U stays at $300 brand new. Along with this low console price comes sales. The e-shop has much better deals on games than PS store or the Xbox store. Along with cheaper hardware and games, playing online is free on the Wii-U. [b]-Performance[/b] The second reason why you should get a Wii-U is the performance. While most games on the PS4 and Xbox One play at 900p and sometimes 1080p, the Wii-U always plays in full 1080p. The Wii-U also pushed 60fps on almost every game. The only game that comes to mind that doesn't run at 60fps is Windwaker HD. It runs at 30fps because it's running on a GameCube engine. The engine forces it to play at 30fps. This is actually impressive considering how hard cell shading is to render. Take Borderlands for example. It's very hard to maintain a good frame rate on Borderlands because it's very graphically demanding. The Wii-U is running an open world game on a 10 year old game engine with a massive render distance in full 1080p. I wouldn't expect 1080p 60fps on a game that demanding. The Playstation 4 has very few titles that run at 60fps. The Last Of Us and a few more are examples. [b]-Exclusives[/b] The third reason that you should get a Wii-U is its exclusives. Most every game on the Wii-U is an exclusive. So many Nintendo classics in full 1080p 60fps. Go back to a time when you could all just sit on the couch and play Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and so much more. If you don't like the games out now, you can always buy from the virtual console section of the e-Shop. All of your favorite games all in one place. In the graph above are the number of games released for the Wii-U vs the PS4 and Xbox One. [b]-Hardware[/b] The last reason you should buy a Wii-U is its hardware. The Wii-U has a lot of power inside. It's got a killer GPU and its flash storage makes running out of space a thing of the past. On the other consoles you have to buy another hard drive when you run out of space. On the Wii-U you only have to buy an SD Card. SD Cards are faster and cheaper than hard drives. The Wii-U's controller has many wonderful features. The game pad is comfortable and very convenient. If you don't feel up to turning on the TV, just grab the game pad. If you need an extra controller, just use the game pad. These are just a few reasons you should consider the Wii-U.
