Buying Wii U now, or wait for NX?

Unless you REALLY want the games now and feel like what is being offered in the future interests you, get it. If you can wait, just wait. I wouldn't have gotten a Wii U at all if my gf didn't make me XD most of the games I want on it are /were delayed. The games out now besides SMM and SM3DW can barely hold my attention. I'm hoping Nintendo will learn to make games in a more timely manner next attempt

Was going to say this. I didn't get a Wii U because I saw the pre-launch warning signs that the WIi U was going to be an ill-conceived, ill-managed train wreck, but only because I was in the right place at the right time. Nintendo doesn't just need to learn to make games faster, they also need to change their philosophy on third party support. Just Nintendo content isn't  What they're doing just doesn't work anymore. I have hope for Nintendo's new president, but they're on thin ice as far as I'm concerned.

OP, I voted for the 'bargain bin' option, but don't expect it to hit that price for a while, if ever (at least new. Ninty may have refurbished units for $200 on their site). All signs point to Nintendo waiting this one out instead of trying to save it. If you want to hedge your bets, buy the games that you expect to be on limited production runs, and *then* buy the console when it's at the right price for you. If it works out, you're golden, if it doesn't work out, you can always flip the games for a profit.
