If you buy Xbox Live or PS+ at full price then you're a sucker. I always buy it when its on sale on EBay for $30-35. I spend more money at the movies with my girl buying a ticket and concessions than a full year of Xbox Live. And its worth every cent because it has given me so many free games so far, allows me to communicate with friends, if something happens to my Xbox everything is attached to my account so I just have to re-download. Not spend all of that money again on new games. So in actuality since you want to speak in hypotheticals, getting your Wii U broken or stolen costs more money than Xbox Live or PS+ AND getting your Xbox or PlayStation broken or stolen.

How comes? You have an online account with Nintendo and they transfer the data to the new console. What is the problem with that?

Oh from the comments here and how it works on 3DS(last I heard) it seemed like that wasn't the case for Wii U.
