Your statement that you can't judge a console in a few weeks only focuses on the library, there are certainly things intrinsic in the hardware that you can judge in that time frame. If you'd like some examples, could just be that they got the console and hated the OS load times so much they they just couldn't stand it. Or maybe the controller doesn't feel right. There are actually some reasons to return a console before a few months other than "oh they're scalpers or idiots" replies you're getting for the most part.

Ilike what your saying here, but can i add that both 360 and PS3 were a shadow of what they are today. Over the years they have had various patches and downloadable add ons to improve the hardware. Whos to say the WiiU hardware cant be improved in the same way ie quicker loading times, additional content, achievements etc.

you're right, but who's to say it will be improved?  That's what you have to consider if you just can't stand something intrinsic in the hardware like missing achievements or load times.  Will they improve on that aspect of the console and if they do how long are you going to have to just sit on a console you don't like to use until it's acceptable.  Could be years until they improve the load times, so I don't think "yeah but they could fix it" is a very good reason to keep something you don't like, the library improving is a definite, but things like load times improving may or may not happen and you have no idea when.
