That created a market space of it's own by being dirt cheap and ultra casual.orangeban said:
WiiU however tries to join in the big league where the prices run high and grandma wont shell out that sort of cash anymore, plus there are already two well established consoles sitting in the high end market.
It's very questionable how this will turn out for them, but Nintendo doing most of the good games for their console anyway will atleast guarantee their survival.
If we let Nintendo tank in the console market they'll stop making consoles. Then they'll release games on 360/PS3/PC like Sega does now, rather than releasing a new console that's as powerful as a 360 SIX YEARS after the 360 came out.
So ethically, I can't support buying any nintendo consoles. They're terrible (but with some good first party games) and frankly we need to fix this.

Yes, and its the only console I'd even consider buying on its release date. I'd buy an "Xbox Next" and "PS?" only after a year or so of crappy hardware breakdowns and re-designs. Nintendo is the only one of the console companies that does not use the first several quarters of a hardware's release as its "beta test" period. They release a product that actually works on day one, and will until well after the next generation of console is past. Sony and Microsoft only care about their products outlasting their 1 year warranty, and they very rarely achieve even that in the first year of a console cycle. My first 8bit Nintendo... still works. Super Nintendo... still works. N64... still works (well, I've had to replace controllers.) Gamecube... still works. Wii, never a problem.
On the other hand. 1st PS1... please, I've gone thru 4 since the 1st one broke and don't own a working one (decided it was cheaper to PC emulate.) PS2... well my slim version still works, too bad it was the 3rd one I bought. Xbox... lazer stopped reading discs exactly a year and a day after it's purchase. PS3, on my 2nd. 360, please... how many millions of RRs does it take to prove a shoddy product?
To be fair to Sega though, my first and only Dreamcast still works.

If Nintendo pays me to do so, perhaps.
But pretty much every other gaming option out there is preferable.

Good Lord, no! A loud, resounding no! Neither on launch, nor ever! I bought the Wii, and it's easily the most underused console I have ever owned, and I've owned every major system since the NES and the Master System! I will not be falling into that trap again. If I want a toy, I'll buy a Transformers action figure. It's cheaper and more fun than the WiiU seems to be, and it gives me more than I ever got out of the Wii. If I want an actual console, I'll just stick to Sony or Microsoft from now on.
Nope, I judge a console on the games so unless there is a good line of exclusive games I want on it I won't buy any console. I never buy consoles at launch for that reason, I buy a console to play games, if it has no games (or games I can get on a platform I already own) why but it? Besides when you wait the price goes down.
Most likely I will. It's getting the game I want (Mario, Zelda etc) and a nice amount of third party support this time it seems. I don't doubt that it'll end up like the Wii. Only seeing action when a big name comes around as opposed to the PS3. Then again. The amount of Wii games I really really really enjoyed far outweigh the amount of games I really really enjoyed on the PS3.
It's all about avoiding the shovelware on the Wii. Which is ridiculously easy. Not so much on the PS3 since there's a helluva lot of Shovelware (or just downright crap) games disguised as AAA titles.
