I'm a Wii U owner and...

I'm not getting one 42 13.95%
 
I already got one! 142 47.18%
 
I'm undecided 45 14.95%

Got mine this week, so almost 2 months post launch, making this the earliest I've ever bought a new system. The next soonest is Wii at 6 months, while for every other system I've waited atleast a year for. That's the power of Splatoon for ya!

The only reason to get the Switch for the first few months is Battle Mode in MK8D. Is that worth it just yet?

No interest in the portability of the system? Great battery life, spent a few hours today in a cafe playing MK8D with mates :) can't really do that on the WiiU



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I already have a backlog on PC, Ps4 and WiiU. I'm waiting for a price cut and/or an hardware revision.



There's no reason for me to get one yet, even if I had the $$$ on hand to spare at the moment.

I got Zelda for Wii U, which plays just fine. I'm sure it would be nicer with a slightly better framerate and maybe a tad more draw distance, but otherwise I don't see a huge upgrade. Otherwise, there are no games that give me any reason yet to get a Switch. Mario looks interesting, but that's not till Holiday, and frankly even if it's amazing, one good Mario game isn't enough to sell me on a new console.

I really need them to sell me on the system, fully. Announce some more games that I, as a consumer, actually want, and more importantly, prove that they're not just going to pull another Wii U, and have sparse game releases and little actual long-term support.

the only thing that would most definitely get me to get a Switch would be a new Zelda, in a couple of years probably.

You're gonna be waiting a long time then. If the next main line Zelda launches before 2021 I'll be shocked.

I'm undecided as yet, but realistically there's about a 90% chance I get one eventually.

So far though the only game that really interests me is Mario Odyssey, and I'm not buying a console for one game. 

This E3 will be a major factor in determining if/when I get one.



got mine two weeks ago from amazon uk :) dont regret it one bit



I'm interested in the Switch, but I'm gonna wait for price cuts and game bundles.

I also have numerous Wii U games to play.

Probably. If LM3 comes out on Switch, then definitely.



Got mine Day 1, which was a first for me. Everything about it just seemed right up my alley, and I've been been extremely satisfied with it.
