The holidays are upon us. Thanksgiving gave way to Black Friday. Black Friday set the stage for Christmas. And we slackers out there—those of us who don’t have the moxie or the guts to get up that early and go stand in line in the cold—still have our shopping ahead of us.

God their mobile site is shitty, I will read it after

I do agree with the "you dont have to pay for online" though

Well this one is better than the other one that gave ammiibos as reasoning, that's for sure.

OT: Some I agree with, some can be debated. Wii U is a good low budget console that offers free online and high rated exclusives. The console is also backwards compatible, which is also a plus.

1. not even close powerwise.

2. you're just downplaying.

3. you're seriously denying that wii u has the most and best exclusives?

4. excuse me? as far as I know, competitive play is the same everywhere.

5. actually, it matters a lot to people who don't own wii games, because they can buy and play them without buying a wii. to previous wii owners, it's just convenient.

6. just no. maybe there's a few, but ps4 and x1 generally don't have games that can be enjoyed with your families.

1) So PS360 are new consoles? Nice.

2) All the games that are meant for Online and play great Online. Smash Bros. And MK8 and soon Splatoon and Devils Third. These are just examples.

3) That's your opinion but Nintendo is known as having some of the best quality games. It is different if one likes or dislikes them but most have the best quality.

4) If he meant couch co op and couch competitive play, he is right. Nothing better then playing local MK8 and SSB. Even online they are great.

5) You are partially right, but I have many Wii games but I got rid of my Wii so I need something to play them on. It also gives you a huge amount of games to play.

6) Everyone knows that Nintendo is Family Friendly. Not always but sometimes and the local play helps.

I like you attempt though ;)

So someone produced a list of 6 reason to get a Wii U over an X1 or PS4. Wonder how big a list someone could produce to get a X1 or PS4 over a Wii U?

It costs less. That's it! No more reason than that currently. And I'm not trolling so please don't ban me.

Right now, my version of that list would suck, a year from now it might be great. However for myself Wii U is a better device for now, while the PS4 (and that other console I won't buy Xbox One) is future potiential. 

I am really surprised at the amount of people really satisfied with PS4 right now, a lot of the huge games have been a bit disappointing, and the heavy hitters still have a ways to go. 

Xbox One again isn't the type of purchase I plan on making ever, but it does feel like it currently might have the edge in the library in terms of the two devices. 

1 Easy step to make your children your enemies:

#1 Buy them a Wii U when they wanted a PS4/X1

Surprising, for a Forbes freelance article it seems pretty fair.
