Nintendo: Wii U could become "preferred" Call of Duty platform

Dem facts!
Sitting here with a huge grin on my face. I'm sorry that you think passion is somehow a negative quality, to the point that you wonder aloud whether that means someone is angry or having a bad day.
No, if I'm spending even a minute posting on GAF, chances are I'm enjoying myself. I don't spend time with things I don't enjoy; I'm a hedonist.
Not that your question is genuine, but since you seem so concerned...
They are facts, 'tis true. But I would love to see people try to argue eloquently in favor of Nintendo's online experience to date, or that they know better than I the reason I posted the comments I did before, or try to articulate at length as to why Mii's aren't gross - but I'm sure all three responses would just end with me laughing so hard that manly tears might be shed.
I'm curious, what do you mean by Miis are gross..
Sounds like a teenager describing something, but what do you mean exactly.

apparently people somehow are oblivious to this; just because many won't use GamePad as the controller to begin with because they may not get CoD for Wii U or Wii U to begin with, doesn't mean it won't be the preferable method for those who do
No, it was sarcastic in this case. That said, I have many times stated that I respect your passion. Just think that your comments are ignored and/or mitigated by the antagonistic tone you employ. Passion does not equal antagonism.

Well technically they aren't facts. They are opinions. Ones I don't necessarily disagree with (I like Miis better then Home/Avatars but whatever), but still opinions.
IT'S A FACT!!! Heh.

Nintendo, for a smart company they sure are stupid. The only reason xbox is the prefered platform is because they get the dlc exclusively before everyone else. If you can outbid MS, then yes that might happen. Otherwise, good luck.

Really? People actually buy COD for the DLC exclusivity? When I still bought CODs, I bought the 360 versions because I didn't own a PS3 plus I was already paying for Live. Even if I had a PS3, Live would of been a much bigger factor then DLC exclusivity.
No.
And according to you I blindly defend everything Nintendo does, which is also not true and you know it.

If anything, I think COD gamers are the very definition of casual gamers. Your typical COD gamer usually plays nothing but COD all year until the next yearly installment and usually has virtually no interest in other games/genres, particularly single player games. (this is just an anecdotally-based generalization)
"Hardcore gamers" is a term that doesn't really have an agreed-upon and concrete meaning, but when I hear the term "hardcore gamer" I think of people who own multiple consoles and/or a gaming PC and play dozens of different games a year across various genres.
For the typical COD gamer what matters most is the ease of use in connecting and chatting with their friends, and Microsoft's superiority in that regard is primarily what has made their platform the preferred COD platform.
This is simply not true.

You're just as hyperbolic as the next guy. You get just as passionate and defensive as the next guy.

And horrible in 2012. Seriously. Either get rid of them or upgrade them. The avatars are just as bad for XBL but at least they have more features and options. It's no longer 2006 Nintendo.
I mean, it's gross. As in, it's artistically a offense on my senses. As in, as an avatar I'm saddened to have to be greeted by them when I turn on a Wii game. As in, I'd definitely rather use the nasty Microsoft avatars, but they're certainly better than Sony's horrifying PlayStation HOME avatars. As in, gross. Oversimplified mass production nonsense, wherein 'quality' design is always 'whatever does not offend the largest amount of people' rather than anything truly outstanding or making a statement. You get like three body sizes and like two shirt colors for christ's sake!
Then why did you choose my comments, which were addressing points raised in this topic and by other users, and not an actual antagonistic comment like snesfreak's, which literally dismissed any points being raised by me as 'hyperbole' not concerned with facts? One is an actually antagonistic comment; the other is a passionate dissertation on one particular opinion.
I get the feeling people only think this thing when the opinion is not one they share >:/
Gross!
People can have wrong opinions. Like Nintendo's online not being shit!
oh god NO. they are horrible creatures.

His statement was pretty qualified.
"The Wii U could become the preferred way to play those games for some of the core gamers."
Emphasis added. For the subset of core gamers that like whatever the pad can add, it could indeed become their preferred way to play. I doubt that group will be all that large, but he didn't really say anything controversial.

You should make a new thread about that

Not going to happen with no online gaming infrastructure. Pipe dreams

Maybe they should charge a fee for online stuff. Apparently people like to pay fees. Here's hoping the multiplayer craze will cool off a bit.

CoD is basically 99% online multiplayer-based. With Nintendo's online track record they're not becoming the preferred CoD platform, even if they offer a superior gaming experience.

It'll be my preferred platform if I can completely ignore the gamePad and use pointer controls.

ok, apart from being 'nintendo'
a map screen would be handy, for some types of games.

If it's true that a Black Ops 2 version is being made for Wii U, it's scheduled to come at it's release, and was not announced at E3 conference, it just increase even further the failure factor from that.
Great idea. Are you reading this Kotick?
You could actually lock any Gamepad features it might have and then have them unlock with an elite sub. More sales.

I may be the minority here, but when I first saw the WiiU GamePad, i thought of COD. I mean using the GamePad for all the Killstreak airstrikes or remote cameras. It would be perfect. Nothing is worse than having to block your view to do an airstrike, and the touch screen would make it so much easier.
THAT SAID. Like most I would still probably play on XBL since there are so many of my friends on there already. But if WiiU is a success this holiday I might switch

But the only way this could be incorrect is if Sony and Microsoft release new machines that are as powerful as...the 360 and PS3. History tells us that new consoles will be stronger than the last. So even if they are only twice as strong, they will still be about twice as strong as a Wii U.
I know we're still waiting for exact specifications on the Wii U, but we've had enough evidence from credible sources like developers to draw a conclusion that the Wii U is a current gen strength machine. It doesn't exponentially beat out the PS3 or 360.
I'm just going by industry history. The Wii did the exact same thing and it burned them with the multiplatform stuff.

Considering it's not out yet? No.
Well, yeah but that will be about the same time Call of Duty crashes and burns ala Guitar Hero. Poor Nintendo
Wouldn't that potentially benefit them?
If they are able to support or get the next big thing, the same time as the rest?

Looking away from the screen in an incredibly fast-paced online shooter like CoD is suicide (literally, it will kill you). The kills and deaths come soooooo fast with CoD. You're made out of paper and many times die in 1-2 shots in a split second. The Wii U pad would bring nothing to the table here.

By the time you look down at the WiiU controller to see the map...you're dead.
