www.gamestop.com  And you give the price of the cheapest crapiest SKU. The best SKU of the Wii U still isn't as good as a $249 PS3. 

I would grab one at 150$ for sure, but not yet

After I turned 12 I ceased to care about Nintendo, I like playing games that aren't designed for little kids. I will do the same thing I have done the last couple console generations and get the new xbox. Then I will look at other consoles, I had all three this generation, PS3, 360, Wii, but the Wii and PS3 were basically expensive paperweights until I sold them.

Something tells me you're still a kid, your post tells us you are insecure about what games you play. If something looks childish, you try and distance yourself from it because you don't want someone to see you as childish, which is ironic because blatantly trying to distance yourself from something for that reason is in its very nature.... wait for it....

You're basically paying $100-$170 more for a Wii U over a PS3 or 360 with 99% less games and it doesn't even catch up to what the PS3 can do. 

So, you said the system cost $429, when it does not. The $429 version comes with NSMB U and a protective case for the controller.

Do you just use the highest cost of the product to try and prove your asinine points?

[QUOTE="fernandmondego_"]Must be fake, why would they sell such a hot selling item for less than msrp?blackace

Hot selling item? This isn't the launch of the original Wii. That was a HOT SELLING ITEM and was out of stock for more then a year. The WII U however is sitting on retail shelves and they aren't selling at a steady pace. Even Nintendo had to lower their sales projection for this quarter because of the poor sales.

After I turned 12 I ceased to care about Nintendo, I like playing games that aren't designed for little kids.

Something tells me you're still a kid, your post tells us you are insecure about what games you play. If something looks childish, you try and distance yourself from it because you don't want someone to see you as childish, which is ironic because blatantly trying to distance yourself from something for that reason is in its very nature.... wait for it.... CHILDISH! A grown-up just wouldn't give a sh1t.

Actually I'm 35. So I don't play kid games. Maybe you do because you're still a kid. Insecurity has nothing to do with it, I simply have a very definite grasp on my likes and dislikes, something you get from living for 35 years. I don't get a kick out of cutesy brightly colored kid games, and I know this about myself. It would seem to me and most other intelligent people that know themselves, truly knowing yourself isn't a mark of insecurity, but rather just the opposite. i understand your trying to defend your little kids toy, and all power to you for it, but at least pull your head out of your ass and have a slight idea of what you're talking about first. 

I, unlike alot of others, am not saying that the Wii-U sucks or is doomed, I'm just saying it's not my bag. Simple as that.

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"][QUOTE="L0mak"] So the fact that WiiU's sales are **** is, according to you, a good thing for nintendo? Nice logic you got there princess.L0mak

[QUOTE="L0mak"][QUOTE="MonsieurX"] Had impressive first month sales, even if it had no games. Still not selling that bad considering it doesn't even have good games yetMonsieurX

I find it amusing that you link an article about sony losing money on their console units sold that then goes on to mention how Sony still turned a profit that year DESPITE that fact.

Something that nintendo can not say for themselves. So congratulations on hurting your own argument with a failed attempt at a strawman.

Nintendo in 2012 gave us a console that produces the same visuals as a 2006 console... Has a deluxe version with 32GB storage... charges more than the last two consoles they have made... What self respecting gamer on this forum gives a f*** about the future of this console?Grey_Eyed_Elf

I would quote CS Lewis here (its always quoted I swear but sometimes its a good application) but I don't feel like it applies to you. It sure is a great understanding of this thing called "maturity" though that some people seem to lack. Luckily you seem to be a good fellow and have a clearly defined sense of taste, but you should ease up a bit.

People are always telling me in real life to calm down a bit. I get a touch forceful or loud sometimes. I'm aware of it and try to reign it in. Believe it or not I'm a lot calmer now than I ever have been. Are you talking about the quote about childish things and becoming a man? I almost quoted that myself but thought it too overused.

That made me facepalm so hard I almost broke my own nose. Miss the ENTIRE point much?

Not trying to rain down on you or anything, but I can tell you are of right mind so it just felt appropriate. :)

Yeah thats the one. The one thats used so often on here it might as well have been created  for gaming itself. :P

I own a Wii U mostly for the great Nintendo titles that will come in the future, but I have mixed feelings if it flops.  On one hand what if the next PS and Xbox are very powerful and much more capable hardware wise( which they will be) and Nintendo made all there awesome games on there platforms. On the other hand what if they said screw it and just went for high profit margins for IOS and andoid devices and we never got another AAA title from them again.  Thats the thing about Nintendo , if they ever got out of hardware Im not sure how they would go about making games.

I agree with just about everything you said, the thing is there are a few games they make that I really do like.( Yes I love Zelda its just mature enough for me not to let go)

and although I think they should have made the hardware alot more powrful , it looks good enough for it to stay relevant.
