Interesting. I hadn't thought of that one. I'd intended to fit  in "Other", but I ran out of spaces. Should have put it where "Dunno" is, but that's hindsight for you. :P

huh? how does the online interface suck? I don't get it. The thing even downloads updates for me when it's off now after the update went live today. o_O; The eShop also works better than the current PSN store on PS3, I don't even know wtf Sony was thinking with the new shop, and don't even get me started on the Windows 8 UI style when the old one worked so well on the 360.

Because I'm a college student. (No time or money).

Also, I would like some more games.

I am just waiting until i can find one with two games i like for around 250-300. I usually by used to save money but i havent seen any good deals on ebay yet.

@Dahuman ^^^ was that a damage control comment??

I wont pick one up until its been on the market for more than a year and had established a decent library

i also dont want to spend $350 on the Wii U deluxe. I might get it at $299

I voted 'I am not a Nintendo fan'.

But I used to be one, HARDCORE. Never had a PS1 (N64 Forever!), and even though I owned a PS2, all I played was Gamecube.

This all changed last/this gen with the Wii. Apart from the (IMO, broken and uninteresting) controller, Nintendo brought nothing new to the table that appealed to me. Same old franchises, and the new ones, the WiiSomethings, I just couldn't get myself to enjoy. I did love Mario Galaxy to death though, but apart from that, Mario Kart Wii and Smash Bros were both lesser versions than the GC ones (apart from the new awesome characters in SSBB). I even bought TWO Wiis, as I currently live in Japan, and had to buy a new one to play Skyward Sword... Bad choice, as SS imo is the less interesting  Zelda game I have played to date, even worse than Zelda 2.

/rant end.

Then over to the subject at hand. As I said, I live in Japan, so I have all the possible games to choose from. My girlfriend actually bought a WiiU. So I have played it and I actually liked the controller, it is a good idea. I mainly played the New Super Mario Bros, finished it, and all I could think of while playing was: "How come this game have fewer upgrades/suits than Super Mario World on Super Nintendo? Why is this game identical to a 20(?) year old game in design, AND lacking features? Where is the innovation?" To be honest, Nintendo has done nothing to refresh their games. They have been re-using the same formula since... forever, and to be honest, I am looking for something more. I mean, a 2013 2D Mario feels older and less refreshing that a 1992 one. That is not good.

So coming from an old HARDCORE Nintendo fan, this really hurts. I wish Nintendo could just be what they used to, but to me, it seems like they never will.

Therefore, I don't think I will ever buy a WiiU.

Honestly I have one friend who is sorta interested in one and I've told him to wait until the fall because a price drop is inevitable at this rate and there will be far more to play.

I hate that black patch on top of the Dual Shock 4(I know what it's for obviously, but whyyyyy? who gives a fuck about a touch pad with no colored LCD under it?!?!!?!? it made the controller so damn ugly!) :( I'd have been fine with the Dual Shock 3 for it TBH.

Same here. I tell them to go 3DS and then WiiU when it's cheaper.
