I feel that the console gave me countless hours of enjoyment since launch day. It was definitely worth the money I spent...and it still gets regular use.
That said, with the release of Switch, I would have a hard time recommending someone that didn't own one go purchase a "U" at full retail (if that is even feasible at this point). If a used one could be picked up on the cheap, and all the good games it had were readily available, I'd say go for it.
