This has been a dilemma since the invention of capitalism, so I don't know why you're speaking as if P* and Nintendo should be saints and make the game multiplatform so those poor souls who don't buy Nintendo consoles can enjoy it too. I'm pretty sure all but the most affluent and hardcore of gamers can think of a game they had to miss out on because it didn't come to the system of their choice.

If you want to play the game, buy a Wii U. If I want to play a Playstation or Xbox exclusive, I will acquire those consoles.

Who said anything about asking Ninty to be saints? You seem to have missed my point entirely.  I'm arguing against the notion that it's oh so easy for anyone to save up and buy any console(s)they want. For a lot of people it's not. So, you can't just say "oh just buy a wiiu". You can, however, say "well it's either wiiu or nothing, so your choise". Do you see the difference?

Also, even if you have the money to buy a console, you might not want to have too many consoles because of limited space or in case you're moving around a lot and don't want too many things to carry with you. As a student for the last 5 years, I don't remember going to any friend's house who had more than one console.

Do you honestly buy a console for every single game you're interested in? I don't. I learned to wait. If the game eventually makes it to the platform I own, great. If it doesn't, it's the company's loss. I'll find something else to play.

No, I haven't missed your point at all. You seemed to have missed the point of Ryudo's post. Either earn your way to getting the game, or do without it. Either way, don't whine about a luxury item. This has been true about console exlusive games ever since the second console was invented. If you can't afford more than one, then make the most of what you have and don't worry about the others.

Then make that one console a Wii U, or don't complain. I spent six recent years of my life in college too. There were times when I couldn't afford to rub two quarters together, and my dinner for an entire week was free pancakes during finals week. I didn't whine about PS360 games that skipped the Wii, meaning I would have to buy a console I couldn't afford in order to play them. Also, your anecdotal evidence about your friends = nothing. In my last semester, one of my roommates owned every console and owned just about every damn game you can imagine. He was the sole reason I was able to play Eternal Darkness, Luigi's Mansion, Fatal Frame, Costume Quest, Kameo, Castle Crashers and a bunch of others. What does that prove? Nothing, just like the friends you know who only own one console.

No, I don't. I buy one console, play the hell out of it, and don't worry about the games I missed because I have plenty to stay occupied with. It just bugs me that you cry the poor man's dilemma on this particular thread when there are dozens of exclusive games on every console, or at least not inclusive of the Wii U (the cheapest console to both purchase and own over time, I might add), that deserve the same attention. Somehow, I doubt you're making the same case in threads for those games. Did you do the same thing for Dead Rising 3, or the next Tomb Raider?
