I think you are lying, your avatat says NINTENDO TILL THE END.

First of all I don't lie. I'll post the damned reciept if I could ever learn how! So I ask you politely to take that back.

As far as my ...errm... "avatat" says, it says Nintendo.......nothing more. How do you get "NINTENDO TILL THE END"? 

NINTENDO TILL THE END....of wiiu console sales maybe!

Ok, sorry, I take it back.

Also, I am sorry that I wrote avatar wrong, please forgive me.

Also, welcome to the PS3 club.

what would happen if Rockstar announces GTAV for Wii U right now?
you are going to regret it + all the cross gen gameswill be way better on Wii U, since they will be designed as next gen.



If that's how you feel, your mistake was probably buying a Wii U in the first place.

Anyway, PS3 has a huge, awesome library of games to choose from. Much better investment than the PS4.

Still kinda shocked actually. The other day I packed up my WiiU and brought it to Ebgames. With the 32gb console, Blop2, Zombie U and NSMBU I got over $200 trade in value ($200 for the console alone + like $80 for the games).

With that money I got a 500gb PS3 super slim, LBP Karting and 1 year PS Plus.

I just cannot see the future of WiiU looking good!

There are no games and there don't seem to be many coming up within the year that interests me!

The Wifi is garbage with no ethernet ports!

PS4/720 are coming around the corner with a baseball bats!

I just dont want to be stuck with a Dreamcast. So I figured I would cut my losses and trade it in while the value is high. And believe me this hurts. I have always loved my Nintendo systems.

Did I react wrong? Will I regret this?

 

 

 

Oh, you're definitely going to regret this. Especially once you realize you could have sold it for so much more on ebay or something.

 

Never, ever sell to EBgames/Gamestop. Ever. You got screwed.

 

I generally don't think it's a good idea to sell consoles/games anyway. It's very possible you're going to regret selling it someday. Maybe even soon. Watch Nintendo price cut the console, bundle it with NSMBU and see the sales skyrocket, while PS4 and the Nextbox are too expensive, lose 3rd parties and sell horribly, but at the same time also cut support/sales of the PS3/360 so the Wii U ends up the only supported new platform that people still buy.

 



Great choice, bro. The PS3 will keep you satisfied till the next gen consoles launch. You got a lot of awesome fantastic games and PS+ waiting for you ;o

To the OP:

Yes, you reacted wrong. Yes, you made a mistake.

The games are coming. A couple month lul in big releases is no reason to knee-jerk get rid of a console. When will you wind up regretting the decision and wanting to re-buy a Wii U? When the big titles start dropping later this year.

But on the bright side, you will have added to the console's sales twice now.



You did the right thing, and you can always buy one later on down the track when the price drops or better games come out :) but for now you can kick back and play some God of war ascension and then a little later on some Last of us! good times ahead for you my friend :)

Big mistake. The PS3 is a dead end system, after this year Sony will be focusing on the PS4. Once the PS4 releases, the trade-in value of a ps3 is going to drop like a rock. (Same thing for the 360 once the nextbox arrives.) The Wii U will still have decent trade-in value for a long time as it is Nintendo's current system.

If you would've waited you would have the option to get a PS4/Nextbox or if you still wanted a ps3 then you would get much more value for your money.

I dunno. I have an aversion -- even a phobia -- toward selling back any video game hardware or software I own. I think I would have held on to it. If you never plan on buying a Wii U again, it was probably the right call. But if you plan to buy one again when all the high-profile games arrive, I think you made the wrong call.

In any event, buying a PS3 was a great decision. I hope you enjoy it, man.

u know I WOULDNT be surprised that happened honestly. Delay from Q1 to Q3 is quite long and enough to port it.
