I only have a WiiU and a 3ds now.
I bought the 3ds in 2011 because I haven´t been playing videogames for a few months due to absolute lack of time, and decided to get a portable console to play during trips.
I bought the WiiU in 2012 because after a looong period of constant business travels and studies I was again able to play at home. I really like some Nintendo franchises and I really enjoy to play games with my family and friends.
(I just.... love games with local multiplayer. I feel so bad to know that this is a fading trend..... but anyway.)
I opted to buy Nintendo consoles because (at least in my country) its community seems a lot more friendly to me, it was easy to find people who own those consoles and make friends with them.
