Well the thing is dont just go out and buy a new system just because its new, buy it for certain games you want to get your hands on. There are so many games that get left in a past generation that are great but people cant play them because they jumped to the next console. I'm in no hurry to upgrade i love the classics. Shit the PS2 alone (even though its ancient hardware now) still has great games i've yet to play, if your not some rich ass kid who's parents give them everything or a person who doesnt have a lot of bills to pay you can upgrade right away and not worry if another system comes out in a year but for the most of us getting a new game (software) every 2 months is pretty damn nice. Bottem line do you want to have fun with the wii u now or take the chance and wait conservatively at least a year till the next one comes out?

I cant belive that you have many games as you claim (because i strongly disagree in the "no gaems" part, and i only have a few) but cant refute that either, because i dont know you and stuff

while to my 2012 wiiu i did have to apply that patch, for the recently buyed wiiu from my friend i did not (a bundled one) so i tought that every new wiiu had that fix'd, seems that its not (probably because older ones has not leave the shelves)

my ps4 vs gamepad argument was that the gamepad has a higher chargue (doing offtv and stuff) and still manages to last as long as the ds4. Of course you can always play with the 80-hours long pro controller most of the games (i speak for myself as i have 11 retail games)

cord to power brick to console, cord to tv, cord to gimmick, and cord to controller. All i see is an extra brick (and a small one) than others recent consoles, not enougth to declare it a whole mess imo

And ofcourse i apologize for guessing you didnt had the system, as a ton of people that speak about it has no clue (gotta love when they say "the controller is just too big/heavy/uncomfortable)

The new Nintendo system (Which I will dub Nintendo 7) will not come out until at least the 3DS successor comes out and is on the market for a year. So I wouldn't worry unless Wii U is such a bomb that a successor needs to come

The second machine came bundled with Wii Party U, which released here in October 2013, so the oldest it could possibly be is 3 months.

U have that many complaints including "very little worth actually buying", yet u bought a second Wii U?

This is just negative PR to further kill the WiiU reputation on the market and make people sit out of the Wii U. Typical SonyGAF Black PR.

What is ur deal? Every post ive seen from u is this same dumb bullshit.

No, stop worrying. Nintendo has made mistakes, but they're not gone to turn the Wii U into a Sega Saturn.

Yes, they're talking about a next console. But that's to investors, not to the public. The Wii U was in development when the Wii came out, working on a next gen console this early in is not shocking.

I have a laundry list of complaints for every console, yet i still buy every console despite them.
I bought a second WiiU to use as the primary, as I am currently using the first WiiUs tablet as a makeshift development kit for testing software.

Would you rather hear a list of complaints from someone that has no financial investment in the product? because that sounds stupid to me.

You discuss and complain all the time because you just love that damn thing. You want it to be perfect.
