It's my main console at the moment. The 360 is rarely used now.

Once I get the PS4 (12 months after launch at least) I wouldn't really have a main console. Each would have its use.

PS4 - Multi-plats
WiiU - All the amazing Nintendo games.

Wouldn't that kind of make wii u a secondary console then? You listed the same thing as me, unless our defs are different.

Depends on how many multiplats and nintendo games you play. If he plays 10 nintendo exclusives to only 2 multiplats on Ps4, then which one sounds like the main console? :P ( btw that is my situation with wiiu/wii and Xbox 360)



I am a nintendo fan, not a nintendo fanboy

Unfortunely no, she bought it a few weeks after it launched, and well I was excited as well to be honest, didn't expect the huge flop.

Its my main console. I have barely touched my others. I never played any of the launch ports except on wiiu and I like the gamepad features enormously. Virtual Console games are also something I spend a lot of my time on. Between Virtual Console, Wii catalog, and WiiU catalog. I don't have much time for much else. Plus I use my WiiU as my main web device and streaming movies.

Touch screen controls is a leg up on every other console present and future.

Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

Pikmen 3= Little Bump to nothing. (Got Little Bump)

Wind Waker HD= Won't sell anything (The explosion happened here and at one time 4 Wii U games was in the Amazon top 100)

Super Mario 3D World= Won't help at all looks cheap. (Currently the most sought after Wii U game and continuing the Wii U increase.)

After looking at the release schedule I already was kinda sceptical. Never expected it to be this bad, though. Aliens: CM and especially Rayman Legends (despite what some people say) not releasing as planned really did hurt the WiiU. RL would have prevented the WiiU from losing as much momentum as it did, as a result the baseline with the release of Lego City Undercover and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate would have been quite a bit higher. Oh well, can't change that now. At least from now on we'll get at least 1 game/month (which still is kind of a joke) until December...

But I'm a horrible person anyways. The only reason I got the WiiU day-1 was the hope for an ambassador program (since I missed the 3DS one by just a month or so...)
