Yes, the 8th generation of video games is just starting, but from the previews/demos of the games you've seen, which system is the best? I don't follow most contemporary video games as I'm a classic gamer (5th generation and back) with the occassional urge to try a 21st century game, but from all the info you know (titles, graphics, controllers, other technical specs, add-ons, and controls), which title do you feel will win out this generation? As the first games from the XBOX1 and PS4 get released, feel free to add your opinions. Who knows if this is the final generation for consoles since the next generation could be completely cloud/stream-based; as the Nickelodeon TMNT games for example have been. That said, this generation will likely be best known for the LCD screens on the controllers.

The Wii-U will have Mario 3D World by the time PS4/One come out, that alone makes it the best.

Most of the launch titles are just current gen games like Battlefield, Ass Creed IV, Call of Duty, Madden, etc.

PS4 won't have any good exclusive games till 2014. GTA V alone is better than anything coming out in the next 2 months.

Ps4. It has Minecraft. And it looks better and judging by the technical parts, it probably is better.

All strictly opinion though.

LOOK! THE AMBULANCE IS COMING!

WIIUWIIUWIIUWIIU

Seriously, the games on the Wii U are awesome, and the ones coming out look even better. The Wii U is just so fun and unique, especially the gamepad. Besides, I really don't like all of those shooting games and whatnot that are basically all the other systems have to offer.

I own a Wii U and love it, I will continue to use and support it as much as possible. I also have PS4 coming on the 15th. While I think the Wii U has a great lineup of games already and someone buying a console this holiday would probably get a ton more enjoyment out of a Wii U in the coming months, if you look at the long term, say from now till 2017 or 2018, I think the PS4 is a much better bet because of its enhanced developer support (and TONS of indie support)

It's hard for me to pick just one but I'd say right now Wii U is best, but over time PS4 will reign. Glad I'll have both!

No comment on the XBox One. :p

Ha ha ha ha ha! That is funny.

Btw Sega Dreamcast had LCD screen on it's controller. So I don't think it will make the 8th generation game consoles unique.

I heard the 8th generation games lags already. Is that true?

I came for the console WAR! Where's the war? All I see is people expressing their opinions on what do they think for now will be the best console out of the three. Come on, you can do better!

I voted for PS4 because xbone suuuuuuckkkksssss!!!!!!

Looking at this from a perspective that doesn't involve bias-ism or fanboy-ism.

Wii U: The first and cheapest of the three. Has 1080p (which is a pretty huge jump from last year's Wii, with only 480p). Has a more innovative controller of the three, but not that big. (Well, figuratively speaking, at least. In reality, the thing is humongous.) Can run seventh generation Wii games unlike PS4 or XB1, which cannot run PS3 or X360 games respectively. Games coming will be big. Games such as Super Mario 3D World, ThatNewSuperSmashBrosGameThatApparentlyThey'reStil lTryingToMakeATitleFor, Mario Kart 8, Yarn Yoshi, and more. And many great ones already out such as Sonic Lost World, Wind Waker HD, and New Super Mario Bros. U, along with many shooters and RPGs. Obviously, we've got some variety here.

PlayStation 4: Second cheapest of the three. Can run PS4 games, Blu-ray, and DVDs. Replaceable 500GB HDD is present. This is simply because, like PCs, you must put in the disc and install it. Unlike Wii U, PS4 is not region locked, along with XB1. Nobody has played the games yet (even though people are probably camping out right now ready for the launch tomorrow), but they have been getting some terrible reviews. Games such as Basement Crawl, Doki-Doki Universe, and Knack are good examples. However, it's too soon to tell, and Sony could suddenly pull out a huge onslaught of great games.

Xbox One: Most expensive of the three. Seems to have almost the same specs of PS4, but takes many things and just makes them worse. Its appearance, for example, looks like a VCR and not a next-gen gaming system. Has a 500GB HDD like PS4, and you must install the games as well, but it's not replaceable, so once you install a certain number of games, you can't install another one. That's gonna be a pain in the ass for collectors, reviewers, and just plain people who want to play lots of games. Speaking of games, some of them look promising, but some don't look so much. Some that look promising are Crimson Dragon, Killer Instinct, and D4. However, some that don't seem promising are Fantasia: Music Evolved, Zoo Tycoon, and Sunset Overdrive.

For me, I'd say Wii U. I would've gotten a PS4 as well if the games weren't bad, and XB1 just looks... BAAAAAD. Meanwhile, Wii U looks like it could be like the 3DS and be the underdog. Wii U also has some GREAT games coming its way, so... yeah. Damn, did I just type THAT?

You could play games on it and download games. Check out VMU (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMU) . I agree the screen on a Wii U gamepad looks amazing.

Nothing the PS4 has at launch will be anywhere as good as Super Mario 3D World.

I'm not picking up a PS4 until sometime in mid-2014.

I don't care what anyone else says but console wars were awesome, sega vs nintendo on the school yard and then N64 vs psx on the internet was a blast. I"ll agree that console wars seem silly to me now and probably have for over a decade now. But why can't kids these days enjoy their console wars like I used to? It bothers me not if people want to crap all over Nintendo if I enjoy their games. I do know however that the "console war" is actually done by adults, that is indeed silly.

the original reason console wars existed is because everyone was kids...and they could only get one console (whichever one their parents bought for them), so they would defend their console to death because it was the only one they had.

I was a Nintendo-only gamer up until 2007 when I finally got a PS2/PS3...so I remember all the Nintendo Vs. Sega and then Sony stuff growing up.

So far, my vote is with the Wii U! It has a lot of the games I like such as the Mario games, is backwards compatible, and is great for using Netflix and Hulu. I eventually caved and got one on Black Friday :tgrin:

i didn't vote since i haven't played the playstation or the xbox. i did see the new games at PAX prime and was very impressed with the graphics they have. i do however own a WII U (zelda edition cause i have no will power, "what the hyrule crest is on it here shut up and take my money") and i quite like it especially how well they incorporate the wii u pad into the games.
