| Seece said: To an uninformed buyer though, you would only reccomend WiiU based on if they liked Nintendo games and being $50 cheaper. |
I think you are under estimating the draw Minecraft has on the upcoming gen of gamers- they are getting their Nintendo fix on the 3DS but many of the kids 6, 7, 8 and on up are totally enthralled w Minecraft - There will be many kids tell their parents they want Minceaft for Christmas and the price drop combined w Minecraft on XBox (one or even 360) plus Smash on 3DS makes a compelling reason to shift
i already have a Wii u for our household but if I was buying my 8 year old a console this year it would have to have Minecraft on it period- I know many/most of his friends feel the same - look on Youtube and it is clearly not just a local must have trend in our area.
I am very disappointed Nintendo did not get Minecraft for the reasosn above - I think they will lose a lot of potential first timers and end up sharing quite a few existing families due to missing that opportunitty this Holiday
