I don't really understand why everybody is so pissed off about the PS4 and X1's collective lack of backwards compatibility
It's less convenient, yes, but the PS3 hasn't been compatible with PS2 games for a while now and the 360 has always done it with emulation so it was kind of faking the funk for the past 8 years.
I'm not saying that it's a good thing that they don't have it, but I can't say it'd be worth it for Sony or Microsoft to put it in because of how much it would jack up the prices of both the PS4 and the X1.
I've never played with it but I can't imagine that Nintendo made an utterly shitty product as the Wii's successor. They've dropped the ball a few times but the only thing I would worry about with the U is the lack of "next-gen" differentiation.
And the lack of support from the industry, but it's a Catch-22: the console doesn't sell because there's not very much action on the publisher front because the console doesn't sell.
The time between generations has become a lot longer, meaning that people have more games for their current systems and, therefore, have less reason to update to a new one and lose all their games.
It also means that the Xbox One will have a very, very limited library on start-up, so sales will start off sluggish unless they come up with a killer app to package with it (in the vein of Wii Sports)
I'm gonna need you to go here, make a twitch.tv account if you have to (though I don't think you will unless you try to post in the chat) and let me know what you see. Currently it should just be me dicking around on screen with like a ten second delay (that part's normal).
most of the games I've gotten on the Virtual Console are old SNES favorites of mine...and we didn't even get an SNES until Christmas of 1992, when I was in 10th grade.

the Wii U suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks
not that the PS4 and especially Xbox One don't also suck, but the Wii U just sucks slightly less.
