It is really challenging to tell the difference between the Wii U and other systems in terms of visuals and general performance. When compared to Xbox, PS - generally speaking, this is about the level of PS3, xbox360, with better textures due to greater RAM, up to PS4, XONE - not to mention PS4PRO, XONEX - quite distant. There are no more games with 1080p than PS3, XBOX360, so the speed in the menu is once more marginally better than PS3, XBOX360, but worse than PS4, XONE regarding resolution (when connected to TV). In general, it doesn't have any rivals because the ps vita is dead, the 3DS has completely different graphics, and there isn't as much convenient multiplayer on one console as there is on a desktop console. However, if you enjoy stationary Nintendo games, this is by no means the best option (it's hard to tell the difference between the xone and ps4, or the xonex and ps4pro, here the contrast is about the same as it is with the I really enjoyed the console; it's practically perfect for travel; it includes intriguing titles from the developer; and, while everything is OK, there are more interesting possibilities for TV play than doom, skyrim, etc.
