(In my opinion)

Mario Kart 8 is easily the best game in the franchise- the best graphics, the smoothest gameplay, the best online, the most variety in characters, courses, karts, etc. Not only that, but Nintendo has decided to give a game of equal value (if you choose either Pikmin 3 or WWHD), for absolutely free. 

That's $60 for $120 worth of games that are all better than any other next-gen game currently available on other consoles by a landslide.

Not only that, but Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle knocks another $30 off the game price, and adds in a steering wheel and limited-edition controller that are worth $45 by themselves, if not more, for free.

That's essentially $330 for both the console and $165 of games/accessories.

You pretty much get the console (and the Deluxe version, at that) for $165. That's easily a better deal than the PS4 (at $400) or the Xbox One (at $400/$500), and this is coming from someone who owns both a Wii U and PS4.

If you love Mario Kart and Nintendo games in general, now is the time to get a Wii U. If you don't, you are missing out on the best value in gaming currently. 

I respect your opinion but there are several PS4 games that I would take over MK8. (I own a Wii U but not MK8 yet)

Zelda U is what will get me really excited. I will absolutely buy MK8 eventually though
