I've just bought a Wii U because it was £180 for the premium pack on Black Friday on Amazon. For that price, it's good value for money, but for £250 or £300?? Nintendo have made a huge amount of mistakes, they've largely released niche games that have little wide commercial appeal, they've forgotten the philosophy of simplicity, accessibility and competing by non-competing that brought them such huge success with Wii.
People shouldn't be expected to put down hundreds of pounds for a console out of faith that at some point that investment will be worth it. For me, if I'm to buy a console, there should be plenty of tangible reason to do so. I only have Zelda and Nintendo Land for my Wii U right now, but with New Super Mario Bros U (I dread to think were Nintendo would be without this game), Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends and ZombiU to catch up on in the next couple of months, and with Donkey Kong in February, I think there's enough to justify my investment. Add Mario Kart 8, Smash Brothers, X, Bayonetta 2, and Fire Emblem v Shin Megami Tensei later in 2014, there's a good line up of exclusive software there.
