The Wii had ridiculously long droughts as well.

I owned the Wii on 5 different occasions; can't remember exact dates. The first Wii was in April 2007. I bought it to play Super Paper Mario and other games. As soon as I saw nothing else I liked, I would sell it and sell it quickly. The great thing about the Wii is that in its heyday, people wanted this system and you could sell it for almost the same price you bought it for. It was the safest investment in the industry. Then when a bunch of games I liked were released, I'd buy another console and rinse and repeat.

These Wii U droughts are worse and to make matters more dire, nobody wants to buy a Wii U. If I bought the system, I would be stuck with it and not able to get it sold unless I lowered my asking price significantly. I can't buy the system until there's plenty of games and that day might never come. I'm stuck with it. There is a drought with the PS4 but you know there's going to be plenty of software. Can't say that about the Wii U.

It sucks. I want to play Super Mario 3D World but I'm not paying $340 CAN for a Wii U until there's lots of software for it...and not just retreads of PS3/Xbox 360 games.

You can easily find a new Premium WiiU that includes both Nintendoland and SM3DWorld for 299$. Thats really some value you have there.
