The Wii U is a great game console and how consoles have changed

Since 2012,Nintendo's eighth generation game console;the Wii U launched and (so far) after two years,it has had a lot of great games on it despite people are given the console a lot of rubbish as others state that it is not on the same level as the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One despite being in the same generation.

Game consoles feel like media centres since they do more things just not playing video games as this as changed since the PlayStation 2 back in 2000 which had a built-in CD and DVD player,but also had backwards compatibility whereas its competition at the time,the Sega Dreamcast could only play games and had a built-in CD player.The problem was that the PlayStation 2 was the cheapest DVD player making it feel the Dreamcast was obsolete by Sony fans.It sometimes feels that people buy video game consoles for multiple things instead of using for the main thing which is to play video games.

With the Wii U,most people don't even though that it is exists or think that the Wii U gamepad is an add-on for the Wii which it isn't.Things have changed for Nintendo since the Wii as most people who bought were casuals and just wanted a 'quick gaming fix' whilst most hardcore gamers never followed on the 'Wii train' and never felt that it was never a mature game console which it did have a few mature gems on it.Now-a-days,most others think Nintendo make a lot of mistakes especially with the Wii U as it is not a successful console and is a shame.A lot of great exclusives and a lot of great memories (so far)!I still love Nintendo since the N64 and always prefer when a new game console.Keep up the good work!

Doctor Who:Confusing numbering

There are lots of things I enjoy,but one of my favorite Science Fiction programs is 'Doctor Who' and will maintaining why the regeneration numbering has become confusing for certain fans.

Since the 2013 Christmas Special,the numbering has become very confusing for most fans as Matt Smith was actually the thirteenth incarnation,not the eleventh due to the fact The War Doctor was a secret regeneration between the eighth and ninth despite not being called 'The Doctor' and The 10th Doctor regenerated twice making the total of 13 incarnations.Since Peter Capaldi is noticed as the 12th Doctor,he is technically the 14th incarnation and for anyone who wants to gets into Doctor Who now,just remember to do a bit of research before getting into it.As Time Lords have a total of 13 lives alongside 12 regenerations so just make sure that you know that the 12th Doctor isn't the 12th.I would like to see the numbering make sense,but it probably will not with this being the numbering now:

1) The First Doctor (William Hartnell)
2) The Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton)
3) The Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee)
4) The Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker)
5) The Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison)
6) The Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker)
7) The Seventh Doctor (Slyvester McCoy)
8) The Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann)
9) The War Doctor (John Hurt)
10) The Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)
11) The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)
12) The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)
13) The Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith)
14) The Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capladi)

Steven Moffat has definitey create a problem that should never exist,but could it be solved for the best?
