Your friend doesn't know what he's talking about. The Nintendo Wii U is only a tiny bit more powerful than the ps3/xbox 360, and you can't really tell the difference between the 2 when it comes to games graphically. Now think about what I just said.
If the wii u's graphics are only a tiny bit better than the ps3 and xbox 360, but no one can tell the difference, how in the world will it be better than the upcoming ps4/720? It's just impossible. TRUE next generation gaming consoles like the ps4/720 are going to blow the wii you out of the water, trust me.
The Wii U doesn't even have any games, and a lot of 3rd party support is on the decline.
No WiiU will not be better then ps4 or Xbox 720.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
