(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. 

Id could say total opposite on the consoles worth value, but atleast you said opinion and fair nuf it is just that.  Your view tis all. 

Intrestingly nuff best graphics, best online are you sure ? casue for years iv heard form certain people such things dont matter. 

Personally will get Kart when i trade in watch dogs, hope it lives up to the hype.  But im going in with low expectatiuons, Ninty fanbase has been to desperate for a savoir to trust their take on Wiiu games.  But it is kart, shoulndt dissapoint.

It's a lot better than I was expecting. For me MK had been in gradual decline but the racing on this one is fantastic. Put 10 hours into it yesterday which is something I've not done in a long time.

 Not found any really weak courses either. Which is refreshing. I just hope they remake more classic circuits as DLC.
