Hi all,

A friend of mine was recently hit with financial issues and had to part with his PS4. He was going to trade it in at Game but I offered him more than them at the last minute without thinking about it too much. The upshot is I now have a PS4.

The downside is based on my tastes I'm not too sure what games are worth getting for the system. I already own a kick ass gaming (and rendering) rig so third party games aren't on my radar for the console. I guess it also doesn't help that I haven't been following Sony for about four years now.

My main question is what exclusives are worth purchasing for the system.

I'll post a list of Game's i'm currently into and any additional information

  • Already have regular access to a PS2/3 so remasters aren't something i'd be interested in
  • Aforementioned rig can handle last gen/ current third party titles at max settings

Games I am currently playing and general interest in those genre's

  • Splatoon
  • Bioshock Infinite
  • God of War 3 (PS3)
  • GTA V
  • The Escapists
  • FNAF 1 - 3
  • Rare Replay
  • Bayonetta 2
  • Titanfall
  • Advanced Warfare
  • Persona 4 Golden
  • TXK

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Kind Regards

Hi everyone. I thought I would update you on the result of this topic.

Earlier this month I sold my Wii U to a friend for about the same price I paid for the system. I also built the computer approximately a fortnight ago and am really enjoying what it has to offer (Twilight Princess in HD FTW). Still in regards to the points made above I have not abandoned Nintendo in it's entirety as I still posses a 3DS XL and already have my copy of Pokemon pre-ordered. I may pick the system up again at the very end of it's life cycle like I did with the Wii but a heavy emphasis on the work may. I was unsure about whether to rid myself of it before but the risk of being stuck with a £200+ paperweight was one influence factor. At the end of the day I decided to sell it because of a lack of prospective games and a lack of time/increasing backlog. Since purchasing the computer my primary console (PS3) has seen little to no use and my Wii U has been sitting in storage since January of this year. Therefore I wanted to give someone else the opportunity to use it as if I kept it it probably would not have seen any use for a few years and without proper maintenance the battery would have most likely have died and some of the main console components may have ceased to function.

If any moderators wish to lock this thread from future discussion as the question has already been resolved I have no objections

happy gaming

Thank you all to those who have contributed to this poll.

After much careful consideration i have decided that the best decision would be to sell my Wii U or put it into storage for a few years. This is because many of the games that were show at E3 (except Bayonetta 2) did not interest me or then were not to my liking. e.g. I was hoping that Zelda U would have a somewhat realistic art style that would be similar to Twilight Princess and a somewhat dark story line like Majora's Mask. However it unfortunately looks to be very similar to Skyward Sword which is my least favorite art style to date. However i will still have a 3ds to play the modern Nintendo exclusives.

My plan as of current is to keep the Wii U until Bayonetta 2 comes out, play and complete the game and then sell it privately in order to maximize return.

Happy Gaming

Thank you all for your contribution and @KBFloYd@YearoftheSnake5 i have moved this post to the general games discussion forum under the following URL

http://www.gamespot.com/forums/games-discussion-1000000/should-i-sell-my-nintendo-wii-u-31312255/

@ANIMEguy10034 I purchased the Wii U last year as i was very interested in the Gamepad and what it could add to my current gaming experiences e.g. off tv play. However many of the games that i was interested in between early this year and the current day have 'skipped' in the Wii in favor of other consoles and a few of the titles that i am looking forward to that are set to release in the foreseeable future also appear to be following the same strategy.

@dennysinny I am looking at purchasing Smash Bros but for the 3ds as i feel that i use this system more often.

@GH05T-666 When you mention 'all the good games' which upcoming titles are you making reference to. Perhaps you know of some titles that are not known to me or i am unaware of their impending release.

Hello there,

As you have probably derived from the title i am giving consideration in to putting my Wii U up for sale. This is because i have barely used the system since January of this year and no (known) titles that are stated for release in the foreseeable future interest me (with the exception of X, Hyrule Warriors and possibly Zelda U)

If i did sell said system then i would be using this money towards parts for a gaming PC which i plan to commence building in the foreseeable future.

Many Thanks to those who contribute.

Finally i would like to request that contributors refrain from 'trolling'
