It is, and will remain my main console and excluding handhelds most likely my only console.
My reasoning is thus: I only buy one console per generation, anything else is a waste of money as there will always be more than enough content for any console to take up way more time than reasonable for video games. So, I just need to decide which one I need to get.
I know with confidence that f I get a Nintendo console I will get a Mario Kart and a Smash Brothers game that will be of the very best quality. That's all I need to know. These are games I will enjoy, and my kids will enjoy for the rest of the generation. In addition I am fairly confident that there will be a number of other excellent games available for the Wii U.
I also suspect that from what I have seen of Microsoft and Sony, there will be very few offerings I would NEED to get. Sony came close with Infamous since my youngest son really, really wanted that game, but in the end, one game is not enough to justify buying a second console. For Microsoft it looks even more laughable. I have a hard time seeing anything offered that I can't get a similar experience on a platform I already own. (With the exception of a NHL game from any publisher)
