Its been a few months now that I own a WiiU, its the mario bundle. I got it from a guy that won it at a party for $220 it was new never openned. Here's my impressions of the console:
Controller: The gamepad suprisingly feels pretty good when you actually hold it, I imediatly loved the touchscreen. Using the gamepad to browse the internet is far better than any other consoles I have ever experienced. Its smooth and makes everything simple. Going on netflix is amazing, just touch the screen and there you go. Its certainly an evolution from previous controllers and its the best I had experienced yet, I hope it doesn't disappear because it makes the console experience so much better.
Graphics: Being a Nintendo console I didn't expect too much for the graphics but I was delightly surprised how good the games looked on the WiiU. I love the look of new super mario U and super mario 3d world looks fantastic.
Games: Well this console surely delivers in games, I only have four games, AC 4, new super mario U, wii party u and super mario 3d world. I love to use the gamepad to check the map on AC 4, although I don't play that game too much now its not a bad game. Super Mario 3D World is amazing, we are almost done collecting everything to get to the crown level, I just can't get enough of this game, the level design is very creative and challenging, the graphics are really beautiful, its my favorite game of 2013 by a long shot. I just can't wait to get my hands on MK8 thats gonna be amazing. All in all loads of excellent games on the WiiU if you like those type of games.
Overall I give this console a 9. Its my favorite console so far this gen, I have a PS4 also but we just don't use it as much as the WiiU which we use everyday. My kids just can't get enough of it and I really like the funcionality of the gamepad to browse the internet or go on netflix. Great console but I think at $250 it would be a better value, I believe $300 is a little high for it.

I'm finding the more people I have play the system, the more what you're saying proves true for just about anyone.
It's taking the initial chance that I think is hard for people, but once they do, like you, there's something about the Wii U that just grows on you. It feels warm and friendly, and unique, and it stands out once you own it as something that gives you games and experiences far departed from the other two "twins" (let's face it, the PS4/XBox1 are still behaving as twins, getting mostly the same games with a small handful of exclusives on each).
