Is it true only Diehards bought the Wii U?

[VAMatt]

I don't consider myself a diehard Nintendo fan. I consider myself a fan of gaming in general though. I bought the Wii U. I have owned nearly every major console since Atari 2600. So, take that as you will.

One of my friends, who is definitely not a hardcore gamer, bought a Wii U for his family. I think he wanted it, but he also has kids that wanted it.
