I got a Wii U only. When you are an adult with 2 kids and mortgage you can only Choose one system to own until your kids are old enough to ask for a different system for Christmas/Birthday's. I chose the Wii U because at the time my oldest was 8, she likes playing games and the fact the game pad allows her to play a game while I watch My DOLPHINS or ATHLETICS play was the seller to me. I got my Wii U last May and have loved it ever since. The HD that are now in Mario games (CANT WAIT FOR MK8!!!!!!!)with the gamepad makes this the best of this Gen(360 last gen, PS2 the gen before last and then N64 IMO). Also My almost 3 year old (June 23rd) son Loves Mario and loves watching me play 3D World ( Tired of playing World 1-Level1 and World 2 -Level3lol) and NSMBU.
