I'm convinced I'm not buying one.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
Are you convinced to buy the WiiU? | |||
| YESS...especially after this E3! | 210 | 31.16% | |
| NO..I need moar! | 196 | 29.08% | |
| NOO NOOO *Darth Vader's Episode VI one* | 178 | 26.41% | |
| Maybe.... | 90 | 13.35% | |
| Total: | 674 | ||
They did a solid job of turning me further off the system, to be honest.
It is very hard to really satisfy video gamers. They want everything now, and then complain if it does not come out again the next year, the same but totally different. And if the attach rates on this site are to be believed, even if you do that they are not going to buy them since most systems only sell about 10 +/- 2 pieces throughout their life spans.
One point lost on people is that Nintendo only wanted games from its launch window shown. That is why P100 was not on stage.
Another is that it cannot make third parties do things, short of paying them or buying them. The other console makers have done that but typically Nintendo has not.
(Personally, I too would like to have seen more third party games. I personally would like to play WatchDogs much more than ZombiU -- I don't care for any game where the trailer shows someone about to kill themselves. But at this point, with all the controller options and hardware, the companies no longer can say that a WiiU game has to be vastly different than an existing HD system game. Simple, simultaneous ports should be able to be done. But just as has been happening, excuses will be found and companies will flounder.).
Finally, I think people are missing the big picture. Nintendo will have the Wii at $99 USD this Christmas, making it a budget gift. It will have the WiiiU at around $300 USD, making it competitive with the other consoles. Next year, the Wii U will be at $250 USD while the new Xbox 8 and PS4 will be at least $400 USD. Everyone is looking at this year's prices and missing that Nintendo will be lower cost and have different experiences throughout.

Like the hardware, I liked the 3 Nintendo games shown, also ZombiU looks very interesting, but so far there's no killer app to make me want to buy the console.

Thirded.
as for me, it will depend of the price,the only game im looking forward is pikmin 3 and super mario bros u, im not too sure if I want to spend more than 350$ for only two games
I'm liking Wii U more and more
It will always look like they showed few things (and they did) and ended with Nintendoland (which sucked, not for the game, but as an ending)
but the more I look at the games, the better it sounds:
Take a look at this... looking simply beautiful

Considering the fact that Nintendo's not done anything of note in well over half a decade home console wise, I think their E3 Conference went as well as could be expected, and Nintendoland's actually a better idea than 80% of the stuff that they've come up with since the Wii launched, so I expect their loyalists, big time supporters, and Elementary School Children, and Grandmas will continue to let them slide.
However, I was convinced after Nintendo's E3 Conference today and after Sony's and Microsoft's yesterday that if you want real gamez then you need to stick with PS3 and the 360 for titles like The Last of Us, God of War Ascension, the Gears prequel, Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and Halo 4. And the true Gamez machines the PS4 and 720 will be announced at next year's E3 and coming out with launch prices that will be comparable to the launch prices of the 3DS and Vita ( It would be surprising to see the PS4 or 720 cost any more than $100.00 more than the Wii-U's current market price when they're released with each one being at least twice as powerful as the Wii-U) with much more highly anticipated games than for the Vita being available at launch and shortly afterwards for the true Next Gen Twinz. So, if you like real gamez, just be happy with the offerings on 360 and PS3 and when 720 and PS4 come out, they're going to rock the gaming world once more.

Yay! You are realizing it!
Nintendo did show little but what they did show was good for what it was supposed to do.
