Treyarch updated the engine for Black Ops 2, and it shows for all systems. Research.

Lol no why buy a console that will be obsolete in 2 years time and a game that's gonna be exactly the same as the previous 6 Mr. Anonymous but I'm sure you already got yours pre-ordered

Oh and way to generalize an entire userbase, surely, you know everyone there.

Not even the Wii was obsolete in two years... unless you're trying to tell me that you know all of the specs of all 3 next-gen consoles.

Here we go again... The gamerz community really needs to grow up. Complaining because the Wii U version will be in 1080 p ? How ridiculous is that !

It reminds me of when I was a kid and would be envious of a friend that got a bigger and cooler toy for Christmas. Nowadays, I see my best friends having better cars than I have, and I feel nothing but pride for them.

People who rage over things like Bayonetta 2 and BlOps in 1080p remind me of that South Park angry mob full of guys with small penises.

Spoken like a true teenager. Maybe later you'll learn to quit your prejudices and just play games when they are fun or meaningful to you, regardless of what the internet tells you.

that's why the best version coming out on the Wii U cause only kids and fags are going to buy the Wii U :)

I think the critics are upset that Activision took the HD bait of Wii U and give Wii U a Call of Duty game that didn't look like a bunch of afterthought table scraps. So screw them! At least Activision is actually taking Wii U seriously instead of giving us effortless crap like they did on Wii. Well; maybe with the exception of Wipeout 3.

Gotta watch this when I get home from work. COD has been, what, native 600p on the PS3 and 360, hasn't it? (Eurogamer said BO2 is aiming for 720p on PS3/360, I think, though.) And that hasn't stopped it from being the most popular series in gaming this generation. One wonders...if it weren't for internet pixel counters, would people even care at all?

They sure are having difficulty swallowing the fact that Wii U is more powerful and will have the best version of Black Ops II for a console.

Wii U has stronger GPU, the CPU power is still up for debate. Some say not as strong as X360 or PS3 CPU. Don't matter PS4 and X720 will make Wii U look like Wii.

I had no idea you could see the future. I also had no idea that Sony was in a good financial situation, lost little to no money on the PS3, and that Sony/Microsoft will have access to 2016 tech, seeing as the Wii-U is using 2011/2010 tech.

Yeah for more expensive price also lol

Oh so the ps4 will be in last place and have no games all the same?

for tyhe wii there are a ton of great games: Twilight princess, Super Mario Galaxy, Super smash bros brawl, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super mario bros wii, Metroid Prime trilogy, Super Paper Mario, Mario kart Wii, Resident evil 4 wii edition, Xenoblade Chornicles, Monster hunter tri, sin & punishment: star succesor.... and the list goes on. All this games will live like classics. (specially the galaxies, which are my personal favorites. and I have to say, are better than the epic mario 64)

Also what Super forgot to mention for the RPG lovers there is Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Okami and Dragon Quest X.

Yeah...because the Wii only has SMG and Skyword Sword. It doesn't Brawl, Zack and Wiki, Metroid Prime Corruption, SMG 2, No More Heroes 1+2, Red Steel 2, Monster Hunter Tri, etc. Hey, just because you only know 1-2 Wii games doesn't mean that there are only 1-2 Wii games.

this made me lol, because as a gamer i spent probaly 5 hours playing the wii since it came out with thousands of hours on xbox and hundreds on PS3. ( only had ps3 for 2 years to be fair) The wii has only 1-2 games worth playing. unless you are a fanboy you already accepted this fact and moved on or hope nintendo pulls through with the wiiu
