Already own one
delighted with my purchase
Miiverse is awesome
Gamepad and off tv play in particular vastly underrated.
PLENTY of multimedia functions and the ability to multi task.
Mario, Zombi U, Lego City, Nintyland and the better version of NFSMWU.
Cool games like Watch Dogs, Arkham origins, W101,Bayonetta 2,Project X,Splinter Cell, Rayman etc and not to mention the big hitters from Nintendo.
Hardly touched my PS3 since.
Superb internet browser, by far the best on any console.
Use of existing wiimotes for multiplayer and control variety.
Fully backward compatable with all Wii games

It's way too expensive for what it's worth. For me its role is just like the Wii's - the 2nd console after a PS360. This is not worth the current price, I'll pick one up no doubt, but when the price reaches 150 Euro and the SKUs are better. I won't go for less than 32 GB, but would happily go for a bit more, so that I won't have to buy an HDD (don't ever plan doing so for Wii U) and 32 GB can prove to be too little just for updates and patches if you buy a bunch of games. I also want Wii U to mature before I buy it. It needs to get the digital games tied to an account, the OS need to be polished, they actually have to introduce the console into Poland (lol!), so that I can actually buy a Wii U or a game here and don't have to import it from Germany.

To sum up - I want better for cheaper and considering there is nothing interesting on the console anyway, I can easily wait until Nintendo makes that happen.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I'm just waiting for game that I want but can't get on another console. Basically I'm waiting for Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, Zelda, Metroid, etc.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Ill get one once i can get the premium bundle for $250 or under and when theres at least 5 exclusives I really want so possibly this holiday.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I would have bought one already but then Pokemon X/Y were announced which forced me to buy a 3DS when it was on sale at Target for $160. So I'll end up buying one during summer and it will sit side by side with my PS4 all next gen as my console duo.

For the same reason I wouldn't hook up with another person if I already had a girlfriend


I don't think your PS3 will make you "sleep on the couch" so to say.

OT: Bought one because I figured I should as the EiC of even a tiny gaming website.  As expected it has become like my Wii, something I bring out for a game every now and then to write about it but am not playing consistently.  Second choice console.  Haven't cared to buy and write about anything on it since I wrote a review for My Little Inferno, but I'm sure I'll find a game every now and then that'll be worth writing about and not already covered by someone else on my staff.  



...

I don't have enough money to buy it :(
But I will save money and wait for a price cut



Im actually waiting for it to drop in price, the deluxe is 600 dollars here



                       Thanks Blacksaber for the sig                  Tag:"Nintendo es toda la diversión de esta generación"

Waiting for Zelda.
