I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Everybody in this thread (except for ONE GUY) wants a Wii U. They're just saying that the don't want one in a sad attempt to drive down the demand for the system. That way, they can literally waltz (I mean "literally", too!) into Gamestop, pick up a system, and waltz home while the rest of us look like suckers.

The idea of playing online Call of Duty with your best friend in HD while one of you uses a Wii Remote for the best aiming controls, ever and the other has his own screen and plays from another room--no sane person can ignore that. I spent close to an hour watching trailers for Wii U games on the 3DS eShop last night. It just looks too awesome. The third party stuff is looking good, too.

Oh, I'd love to have a Wii U.  I'm just not going to pay $300 to replace what I have with basically the same games.  Will the Wii U be a somewhat better experience?  Probably.  However, I doubt it will be a dramatically better experience, which means I'll use that money to buy games rather than a new system.

I have nothing against the Wii U.  If I were wealthy then I'd probably buy one.  It's just not worth the price of an upgrade for me at the present time.  If it starts having next gen, 3rd party titles that "can't run" on current gen consoles, then I'll re-evaluate.
