Already got my Wii U and it connects to a tablet(controller) and is the only box you need under your TV (TVii), so I guess those are factors? hahaha.
Actually for me it's games, then price. Then things like what my friends have. The multimedia aspect is a nice bonus. In fact, I have been very surprised at how much I like the WiiU for media. Having people over with music playing on surround sound and just needing the cool looking and mobile black tablet to pick another YouTube song is awesome. By far the best interface I've seen yet for a console. By far.
But I bought the system because I was ready for something fresh, I like Nintendo software and the price was reasonable. The question for me now is will I buy another system too. If multiplat support remains strong for WiiU I might not. It's such a nice system to use. If I find myself wanting more software that is on a different console I will consider them if the price is reasonable. Multimedia will play a small role, especially with how good the WiiU is in that regard.
