maybe it wouldn't make a difference but the small $50 gap from wii u to ps4 is mentally bonkers.
$50 gets you:
32gb hdd -> 500gb irrelevant for people who don't buy digital only. there are also no installs/mandatory installs on Wii U + you can add any sort of usb harddrive to increase the storange up to 3 Terrabyte
~0.3 tflops? -> 1.84 not so important because graphics have improved so much that games across the board look at least "good" or are completely dependant on art style to shine brighter than their competition
nintendo online -> psn free online gaming vs pay for online gaming
no 3rd party support -> awesome 3rd party support this is just a downright lie. Almost every major 3rd party game except GTA V (which is PS360 exclusive so far) and FIFA 14 (EA is being a bitch) will be available on the Wii U this fall.
1gb of game ram -> 5.5 gb of game Both should be enough for developes to make awesome and fun games.
What you also forgot to add: 50 less gets you:
100% backwards compatibility to the Wii
The game Nintendoland (or, if the rumors are true. Zelda WW HD)
Access to the entirety of the awesome 1st and 2nd Party Nintendo Line-up.
Access to all the exlusive 3rd party Wii U games.
[for Wii owners only] The option to use all of your Wii accessories on Wii U and thus saving a lot of money for extra controllers (up to 150 for 4 controllers, and even more if you have a balance board)
A very innovative Touchscreen controller that allows you to:
- play games OFF TV, basically lag-free.
- browse the internet much more comfortably.
- Use MIIVerse comfortably (the only way MiiVerse would properly function basically)
- enjoy games with extra Gamepad features like Splinter Cell Black List
- enjoy 5 player multiplayer games and "asymmetrical gameplay" (Nintendoland, Wii Party U + upcoming titles)
- get 2 screen Co-Op like in Blops2 in some games.
Like with everything, it's not always just shallow numbers.
