I am debating on whether to get a WiiU or PS4. I think the WiiU would be better because there are many games I can play with others/online, however, I am very interested in Bloodborne, FFXV, KH3, etc on the PS4. Any input would be nice if you have either. Thanks!
WiiU or PS4?
- Thread starter lau.
- Start date
Well, they are both very different consoles, and this is personally just me, but I bought a Wii U, but this is also because I am mostly a Nintendo fan, and I don't go for other brands so I'm not aware of the kind of games that are for the PS4. But the Wii U is actually pretty fun! It has well known games such as Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and a lot more. These are just some of my personal favorites. But once again, I'm not aware about what's on PS4, so I can't help you in that department.

I suggest you check their libraries and upcoming games first, and maybe you would want to wait til E3 streams on June because of the new stuff?
if you have brothers or friends who are willing to come over play with you then the Wii U has great local cooperative games, but you should know that the system lacks third party support and you have to wait for the good stuff to come out as the Wii U serves as a great secondary console

i own both, and personally, i adore my Wii U. not that the PS4 is a bad console, but it doesn't have that many games on it as of right now to make it worth the price, imo.
Depends what you want:
- If you want a bunch of great games right this moment and you aren't too bothered about third party support, buy a Wii U.
- If you want a bunch of great games slowly trickled out over the next 10 years, buy a PS4.
But no, like, seriously, the PS4 has been out for around a year and a half now and it has a bunch of fantastic games like Bloodborne and...Erm...Wow, how many are we on? 1? Erm...It has some remastered PS3 games if you like rehashes of things you could/should have already played...And some other new games that are also on PS3...Yea...
It does have some other good looking games coming out though like Kingdom Hearts III, Metal Gear Solid V and Final Fantasy XV (lets pretend that these aren't all multiplatform) but the question is 'when are they actually going to be released?'. The developers of all 3 of those games have a habit of delaying things. We could be waiting another year for all we know.
I guess Uncharted 4 is announced, as well as God of War being pretty much inevitable, though we've seen so little of either game (nothing on God of War) that it's not worth actually talking about.
And third party support outside of those titles is pretty much not worth talking about unless you love copy and paste FPS, horror and/or zombie games, yano, since the game industry seems to still be into that and pumping them out faster than they can finish making them...
I plan on getting a PS4 eventually myself and I'm as much a Sony fanboy as Nintendo...I just don't see a reason to actually buy one yet until it becomes more than just an expensive paperweight that plays Bloodborne and a portion of my PS3 library with a new coat of paint.
It could be worse though, it could be an Xbone.

At GameStop we get this question a lot. "What system should I buy"
One question I always ask is, what do your friends have? It's always fun to play with friends, and if your friends have it it also gives you the chance to play the system for yourself to see how you really like it.
I had to decide Xbox or Ps4 when they first came out. I was always a play station kid growing up. But decided on the Xbox because it seemed "more advance" than the ps4. And my boyfriend loves Xbox
Another thing I ask people is "what exclusives do you like?"
Halo or Infamous? Uncharted or Forza? What system has more games you're likely to play? Don't get the wiiU if there's only, say, two games you like If there's, say, 10 games you like on the ps4.

Persona 5 will be on PS3 as well, though.
oh! No Man's Sky is coming out eventually, and it looks pretty good. too bad Uncharted 4 got delayed until next year cause tbh that was the only reason i wanted my PS4. i mainly use it to play games i can play on other consoles or for watching stuff on netflix/youtube
I mean most of my games are on PC, but if I were to have to choose, I'd choose PS4 because amiibos are a hot mess and honestly for me it's FF15 vs ZeldaWiiU and even though I really want both titles I'd slightly lean on FF.

what the **** is a Wii U?
Eventually, I recommend you get both (knowing that you're probably on a budget, I'd say get one console now and another in about six months). You will not regret doing that, you'll have best of both worlds. They're great consoles and I'm very happy to own them.
In my honest opinion, I've had more fun on the Wii U than I have with my PS4 so far. The games are bright, colorful, rememberable, and fun to play with others. There's so many great titles to choose from:
Super Smash Bros U, Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Nintendoland, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3D World, Sonic Lost World, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Hyrule Warriors, and not to mention Yoshi's Wooly World, Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles, Legend of Zelda U, Starfox U, etc.
However, having recently bought a PS4, it's also a fantastic system. The graphics are beautifully stunning and gameplay is like fluid. Recommendations: Far Cry 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Infamous: Second Son, Last of Us Remastered, Grand Theft Auto V, Destiny, Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs, and Alien Isolation. There's great games coming out this year like Uncharted: A Thief's End, the Witcher III, Kingdom Hearts III, Batman: Arkham Knight, Metal Gear Solid V... just so many.
When it comes down to it... If you want hardcore, gritty, dark, sometimes depressing, but gorgeous games with intelligent storylines, go with the PS4. If you want colorful environments, pretty graphics, feel-good, relatively easy, but makes you happy, go with the Wii U. But please, in the future, do yourself a favor and definitely get both someday!
Good luck.

Hmm is this even a question? Absolutely PS4~ 
If you're a big Nintendo fan, I would say go with the Wii U. Reason being is, currently they have a much bigger lineup for 2015 as of now, when compared to PS4.
Wii U has - Splatoon, Yoshi, Mario Maker, Fatal Frame, StarFox, (and possibly a new AC?) all coming this year.
There are a ton of great titles on the PS4, but a lot of them aren't exclusive to the platform. Odds are we won't see Final Fantasy XV, KH3, etc until 2016. If you're really torn to decide between the two, then yes, I would highly suggest just waiting till E3 so you know which console is getting the strongest software lineup for the rest of the year.
