Yeah the recession is starting to ease, slowly but surely consumers are starting to come back, so this isn't really an excuse for the video game industry anymore.

If they continue to have downward trending sales year over year, then perhaps there is real merit behind the notion that a lot of people are simply opting to move their spending dollars to items they view as a higher priority in their life -- ie: smartphones, tablets, etc.

Hmmm, so 32 GB internal flash storage is a joke. I guess we should alert all the tablet owners then.  And how about the poor suckers who have 360s with 4 GB of storage. I don't own a Wii U yet but when I do I'll get the deluxe model. The internal storage will be useful for a few things and I'll use an external 1 TB USB drive for anything else. For the 50 buck difference it's a no brainer.

I did not get the wii u.iam waiteing till after christmas..
