I don't understand bolded.

WiiU launched in 2012.
- I own 27 games, over half are exclusives, and another 25 VC titles.
- There are 5 others I still plan on buying; not including further VC content.
- Never ran out of things to play.
- It had full BC with Wii so lots of replay there too.

I really don't get how anyone can feel bad with the value of the system. If you don't like Nintendo games, then why buy a Nintendo system?

If NX has full BC with WiiU, then this is no different than buying a new phone every other year. Do you feel cheated every time a new phone model or tablet is released? Why are we all so stuck on the idea that a new model can't release until the old is 5 years? How many revisions of the same console happen every year or other year? Why are those not counted as a bad thing too?

I eagerly look forward to NX and the new content / ideas it will bring.

Doesn't matter to me what you bought. If this is a console successor why would I invest hundreds of I see clear as day that if things don't go the way they want they will just pull the plug early?

It's not difficult at all to understand my point of view.

 

Its the same reason I waited until 2008 to get my 360.

 

Edit - Don't misunderstand. I love Nintendo games, but let us just say this NX costs $400 at launch. I would want more than just Nintendo games, especially at that price point, not to mention I would want to know they truly intend to have 3rd parties on board this time. 

Nothing wrong with a cautious approach, even if you beg to differ or claim to not understand it.

Nintendo aiming affordable hardware with NX, so probably somewhere around $250.

That would be fantastic news if true. That is a big reason I bought into the Wii right away.

Eh, who am I kidding. I bought into the Wii right away because I didn't have a Gamecube and the Wii got Zelda right off the bat.

Miyamotoo recent:

"What we are always striving to do is to find a way to take novel technology that we can take and offer it to people at a price that everybody can afford. And in addition to that, rather than going after the high-end tech spec race and trying to create the most powerful console, really what we want to do is try to find a console that has the best balance of features with the best interface that anyone can use."

"But really what's most important to us is, how do we create a system that is both unique and affordable so that everyone can afford it and everyone can enjoy it."

Also he stated that Wii U had higher price than they wanted.
