Finished Hitman loved it, should hold me up for the 6 months at least. Heres hoping the next one comes a lot sooner.

Only complaint:
I can forgive the not being able to close doors, magic hands/pockets, lack of communication with NPCs, the beloved briefcase no more, but 47 choosing not to wear a balaclava when available is bulls***! I suppose having him wear it and still be made would make the flaws of disguise system even more apparent, but idk that just really bothers me can't accept it.

Also, supposedly the Wii U's cpu is slow. I heard it's something like 12 GB/s though it has more RAM (2GB, whereas 360 has 512 MB,) but the 360's cpu is 20 GB/s. I got this from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfjWRVC09lk&feature=plcp I'm still getting a Wii U for certain 1st party games though, if the video is true. Skip the first 25 seconds of the video if you don't want to see a bad possibly NSFW joke.

When I was at Gamestop yesterday, one of the employees claimed that MS is "trying to squeeze another four years out of the 360." They had lots of WiiU's in stock.

I suspect she made that up out of whole cloth.

She is wrong. The Kinect got another few years of out of Xbox but I think come E3 we will hear about Sony and MS's new consoles. Id like them to come out next holiday but I dont see that happening with the lack of any kind of talk about them

Also Nintendo seems to have gotten production of their consoles down this time around, either that or its not selling as much as they thought it would.

There will be a new Xbox in stores next winter. Bank on it.

It seems like a quick launch from "Hey Xbox 365 is a thing" in Jjune to "Hey you can buy the Xbox 365 now" In November

She also said Nintendo was on the right track by trying to include 'hardcore' gamers this time.

You know. With day-1 ports of games that have been out for weeks if not months on the PS3 and Xbox.

Trying is the right word to use but so far none of those ports are better on Wii U so there is no reason to buy them on Wii U if you own a PS3 or 360.

Also when Unreal Engine 4 comes out, which should be close to next gen console releases, a lot of ports will stop. The Unreal engine is used buy a huge amount of games and its already been said that UE4 can not be used on the Wii U. Thats what they get for putting out a console with 6 year old tech.

Wow. That's the kicker right there. I haven't been a Nintendo fan for a while, but it bums me out to see some of the poor choices Nintendo made with the new console. Since it seems that they're on the wrong track to hardcore gamers, will they be able to swing back and keep the casual audience? I figure Nintendo will be just fine. They'll sell boatloads.

Even though I sincerely wish that was true, I know it isn't. Holiday 2013 is going to be the window for the next MS console.

That's pretty much how they did it with the 360. I think it'll be announced at a non- e3 thing early next year, honestly.
