I don't really think that would be such a bad idea. I mean, Wii U is assuredly cheaper than the NX will be at launch

How sure are we about this?

and you can play other games on it right now, can't do that with an NX.

Again, NX might be backwards compatible.

 

Wait and see, people.

Well keep in mind there are a LOT of people who don't buy consoles at launch who already plan to wait to buy the NX or really any console until it has a healthy backlog.  For those people, buying a Wii U now could be fine.  Also, if you want access to the Wii's backlog, the Wii U is useful there.  And I doubt the NX will be double backwards compatible.
