My local Game Stop had Wii U (stupid name for a console may I add) and I seriously contemplated buying one, but I held back because I just couldn't comit to the system. I looked at its Upcoming Release page and it was a disappointment to say the least. It looked like a PSP's Upcoming Release page where it was only took up 1/2 the page. The most notable games were Bayonetta 2 (that will probably get a PS4/Xbox 720 upgrade when those systems are released) and Monster Hunter Ultimate. Sadly both those games are next year and not just next year, but Apr/May 2013. Thats a long time from now just to play New SMB.

I'll be honest, but it looks like the video game industry is in bad shapes. The boom of the 1990's early 2000's has long since been over and companies that defined the industry either have merged with others companies to stay relevant, been bought out, or in worst cases have long since gone the way of the Dodo bird. This console generation lasted WAY TOO LONG in my opinion and it was expensive for developers to create games.

I bought a PS3 for $600 when it first came out, what the hell was I thinking! I bought a Wii 2 years later and I barely touched that system. I got an 360 only God knows why... With the economy once again about to take a dump on the nation, I am going to hold onto my bank accounts this time and wait to see how the next generation turns out before comitting.
