Wii U needs proper online accounts and trophies/achievements in games before I will buy one.


Wii U has proper online accounts and it wont charge fees.


Free. On. Line.

What about buying none of them until 2015...



I never liked third party games except some exceptions so I'm all in for a Wii U. Nothing comes close to the tremendous love Nintendo puts into their games, you even feel it.



I will ..



A $50 blu-ray player. Using your gaming console for that is redundant and causes needless wear and tear on an expensive console meant for gaming.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

I'll get a PS4 when both The Last Guardian and Kingdom Hearts III are released...



I like next gen graphics and power.... So you are not buying a PS3x1 and getting a PC then? Guess power and graphics is just an excuse then.
Wii U graphics are worse than PS3.... Yeah don't let the facts get in the way of your hate there dude. Being uninformed and wrong is your problem not Nintendos.
I wont get certain games on it. You also wont get certain games on the other systems as well

Wii U is the only system out of the 3 using something similar to PCCPU/GPU. its not as weak and PS4X1 are not as powerful as you seem to think.

I don't see how any serious gamer can look at this list and say it isn't more appealing. I am mainly a PC gamer and I can openly admit that out of the 3 it is the most appealing. Just about everything posted here against it is either bias or just complete BS that people seriously believe. No understanding of tech in any shape form or fashion and completely ignoring reality and games is what someone would have to do to actually believe its graphics are worse than PS3. Some Wii U games wouldn't even run on PS3 without a serious downgrade.



I think PC + Nintendo is the way to go this gen, but if you don't have a PC and you don't mind paying to play online and aren't a fan of Nintendo's IP then I can totally understand going with the 4BONE. They're affordable and seem to have a lot of third party support.

They seem to be behind PCs already graphically already, but for an all-in-one package, they seem like a pretty good deal. Especially the PS4 in the US @ $399. Here in AU it's launching @ $549 + ~$100 per game + $70 PS+ so I guess here a PC seems like a better overall value proposition. X1 is slightly worse at $599 + ~$100 per game + $80 Live.

EDIT: Just for reference I got my Wii U near launch for $299 with ZombiU. $299 is my sweet spot for consoles. The game sealed the deal as I wasn't really interested otherwise. Glad I did now though with all the great games coming.
