A comment I read quite a lot on the internet and I'd like someone to explain it to me, why does it make more sense for someone that already owns a PS4/X1 to buy a Wii U instead of a X1/PS4. Please keep in mind that I'm talking about the whole generation not just right now. Why will in let's say 4-5 years the Wii U be a better secondary system than the others?


I am not so sure that is the absolute case anymore... WiiU is definitely a must-have for some people as there is no other way to get Nintendo exclusives. I also used to think that the XB1 exclusives are not plenty and different enough to differentiate from a PS4 but with the upcoming releases such as Forza 2, I tend to think otherwise.

So, depending on the kind of games you tend to like both WiiU and XB1 can be compelling systems, especially when they get a price cut. For a person like me, who prefers PS4 and Sony experience primarily, I'd definitely have a compelling reason to grap an XB1 when it gets a price cut and redesigned slim version. Others may be willing to do the same with a WiiU (especially after a price cut).
