I found a used Wii U that was too cheap to pass up.

They certainly could use better third party support (like they promised us), but personally, I don't play those kinds of games, so it doesn't bother me. I think what's hurting them the most is that most people still think it's just a Gamepad addon for the original Wii...but I digress.

I've really bought into the gimmick of the Gamepad, being able to switch between the TV or the touch-screen is cooler than I thought it would be. And the Miiverse is...well...it's hard to describe, really. It's addictive, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that should be. It reminds me a lot of when people would send in envelope art to Nintendo Power magazine.

Like I said, I don't really play third-party games, so Playstation 4 doesn't interest me very much (and I have a gaming PC).

being able to swtich between a handheld and the console is cool I've found I've used my ps vita more to play ps4 remotely then I have to play vita games. mainly resogun(which I think should be a handheld game. )

so I admit the gamepad is one of the main things that itereste me about the wii u that and mario with cat suit. not reallly worth buying for one game though.

The other day my friend showed me his PS4, and holy s**t I was floored by the graphics. I want one now, but I'll probably wait until they drop in price. :P I still don't even have a PS3, never mind a PS4.

I would suggest the Wii U. The Wii U has Pikmin 3, the Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3d World, and Tropical Freeze. The PS4 just has games that can be also gotten on the Xbox One or PS3. Though I am certain that none of us care for the Xbox One.

ps4 seems good for alot of exclusives. but nintendo kinda lost it's aim for gaming. i got very bored of alot of nintendo titles over the years.

I really hate to say it, but I'll end up with a PS4 myself. Ugh.

Dont want one.

But it has LittleBigPlanet. One of the very, very few games that, to me, is worth an entire console.

...and that's the whole problem, as the damn machine is likely to have no other conceivable use.

I at least dont have to buy an Xbone though.

I'd never buy a pc/game console for just one game. as for little big planet. I don't like it.

theres some games I liked on xbox. but I won't buy it for them, so i just likely won't ever play them.

Yeah, most of the time I dont think it's a good idea, considering the sheer cost.

In my case I tend to have money to do whatever, so it's not as big of a deal.


Hmm, and I *might* pick up Destiny as well.... maybe. Not entirely sure. We'll see what that one's like. I admit it's intriguing.

I cant think of much else though...
