The Wii U is at a price right now that it is the perfect console to buy, if only for single player games. For less than the price of three PS4 games you can have the console. Nintendo consoles have never been quite as much about the social aspect than they have been about the amazing first-party titles.

I find it odd that you'd say it's NOT so much about the social aspect, because that's precisely why I buy Nintendo consoles first and the other ones later; nobody does social like Nintendo. And by social, I mean local multiplayer; actually gaming in the same room as friends. I've already got at least about seven excellent games for that on the console.

I agree with you there 100%. I was referring to online-multiplayer in my post, but no one does local multiplayer better than Nintendo, and that's actually more important to me than online.
