Wii U or XBOX One - game consoles compared
If you are faced with the decision to buy a Wii U or Xbox One, you should first of all take a look at the games available. While the game selection for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is almost identical, there are many exclusive titles for the Nintendo Wii U. We show you what the consoles also choose.
Wii U or Xbox One - Comparison of available games
Anyone who has owned a Nintendo console knows the numerous classic games with Mario, Donkey Kong and Kirby. All of these games were developed by Nintendo and have not been released for any Sony or Microsoft console:
- Wii U: If you want to have fun in front of the console, especially with other players, you will find many multiplayer games for the Nintendo Wii U. The best known of these are Mario Party, Super Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Country.
- Wii U: Of course there are games for the Wii U that you can find on other consoles. Well-known games are Fifa, Need for Speed or Batman Arkham City.
- Xbox One: If you prefer to play with single-player games or like to play online, you will find corresponding titles in Microsoft's repertoire. One of Xbox One's exclusive titles is Halo 5: Guardians. Game hits like Star Wars Battlefront, Assassin's Creed or Minecraft can also be found on Xbox One, but not on Nintendo's Wii-U console.
Xbox One - a multimedia device
If you want to use your game console as a DVD and Blueray player at the same time, listen to music on it and surf the Internet, we warmly recommend the Xbox One:
- The Nintendo Wii U is also able to play videos and connect to the Internet, but the console strikes at the latest when it comes to Flash content.
- Up to now, the upload and download of images has not been possible, which is why you can only use the Wii U to a limited extent for social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
- With the latest update of Xbox One to Windows 10, the console has also received some exciting functions.
Wii U for kids, Xbox One for adults?
Depending on the games available, Xbox One is less suitable for children. Your youngest can also play FIFA and other harmless games on the console, but there are also these for the Nintendo Wii U. Conversely, the Wii U is not a children's toy - those who grew up with Gameboy or Super Nintendo will still enjoy it find the console.
You can now even stream games from Xbox One to your Windows 10 PC. You can also listen to music while playing through the console's media features.
