I never said the games had to be out yet.  

If I waited until all the games were out, I'd be waiting to get a next gen. console for a while.

And besides, while it is true that I'm still waiting for Halo, and SO right now, there are already 2 of the 4 games out right now that I'm having a blast playing right now with the other two ariving later this year.  

It just made the most sense for me as the Wii U won't have 3 games I want by the end of the year (Unless Zelda releases this year), and neither would PS4 wich only has 1 game I'm interested in comming out this year, and none I'm interested in that are out now. 

No gaemz?

Ok Infamous is missing.  I lent it to a friend "Yoshida style!". ;)

I suppose it's a matter of what kind of games you like to play, and also future games.  When I bought my Wii U it was specifically for SM3DW.  When I bought my PS4 it was for several games, plus expectancy of a lot of games in the future.  i.e. we all know it will get the best games from Naughty Dog, Bungie, Square, Konami, Rockstar, Ubisoft, Actiblizzard, 2K, EA, Capcom, Namco, etc. etc. etc.

Contrary to some vgchartz folclore, 3rd party games are in fact games!  Those are AAA games I want to play, out of which only COD & AC are on the Wii U but not good versions.

Different tastes man.

it has to be 1-3 games people actually like, you could list all the games you want for Wii U if people dont care about them it doesnt matter.

Maybe because Xbox One and PS4 actually have 3rd parties backing up the exclusives? Hence not having to wait on 1 new game every 3-6 months

PC has hundreds of amazing gaems. PS2 has 200+. PS3 50+. PS4 zero to three depending on your standards.

A console with no future and just a handful of interesting games isn't worth 300 Euro to me. If Nintendo nails it this E3 and cuts the price - I'm gonna get a Wii U. The price cut being the most important factor, at this point I can't justify a Wii U purchase when PS4 costs just a little bit more.

For me it's actually 10 games at least before I buy a console.

The problem with consoles is that you get your fun out of the games and not out of the console. But in order to play the games you have to invest in the console. So the investment for the console is a problem.... Many people do not want to invest in more than 1 console.

If I say "I bought this console for this game" it really means "I already made the decision to buy this console eventually and this game is the reason I am finally buying it".

In case of the Wii U... It is not a matter of the games it has to offer. But after that special WiiMote experience on the Wii I will probably not buy a console again that lacks a standard controlpad as main controller. I would start considering buying a Wii U at a fair price if they drop the controller. The Wii U is simply too expensive for what it has to offer in my personal opinion... and I think I am not alone with this opinion.

This.

And almost all WiiU exclusives cater to a same or similar audience, while X1 and PS4 spread their wealth across many genres and target more audiences.

only read the first page, so apologies if my point has already been covered.

The issue is that those 3 games have to appeal to the same demographic/be of the same genre.

So on the XBone; Titanfall, Dead Rising and Ryse all appeal to the same date raping dudebro demographic, so it makes sense for them to jump in at that point.

Platformers aside, the Wii U doesn't have many games in the same genre.

RPG wise there's MH3 and arguably Zelda. So RPG fans will be waiting for X.
Niche wise there's W101 and Pikmin 3, so fans of weird games are probably waiting for Bayonetta 2.
Action adventure wise there's only Windwaker so we're waiting on another Zelda and something else that hits the same buttons.
Family wise, there's a lot, but I think that big multiplayer title is needed, hopefully Mario Kart will do the job.
Shooter wise there's nothing really of note, and nothing exclusive.
Horror there's Zombie U. When Fatal Frame comes out, and if Nintendo do work out a deal for another exclusive, it might encourage horror fans to pick one up.

In other words, the Wii U lineup is diverse, but there's not quite enough in each genre, platforming aside.
