I'm taking a wait and see attitude.  Ghost recon does look really good but if Nintendo doesn't take hacking seriously this time around, I will pass on the Wii U.  I'm going to wait around 6 months or so and if I see if the wii hacking sites talk about gecko, homebrew, etc...on the Wii U.  If they have the ability to load gecko on the Wii U, and Nintendo does nothing about it.. I'm out.  I'm not going to pay 350 bucks for Hackfest, part 2. 

I also want to wait and see how publishers like Konami, Activision, EA support the Wii U.  I don't care what these publishers say in press conferences regarding their support for Nintendo.  Show me the titles on the shelves...anything other than that is just talk and PR B.S.

I will definately be getting the Wii U. Most likely won't get the next CoD, the only reason I bought BO in the first place was that there was nothing else left, MW3... I honestly expected it to be way better than BO.... but look what we got here

not me its just going to go the same way as the wii............no one really plays it well i dont lol

***** I originally posted this on a different thread so the content may not exactly fit this exact thread, but I saved this for Wii U conversations because not many people saw this, and I'll be getting the U not exactly release date, but I hope before Christmas I got money saved up*****

Well from what I've heard, well first off Wii U will be more powerful than ps360, it's a fact. How much more powerful? I can't pinpoint the sources, but I know I've heard these. The extreme is 50% more powerful than Xbox, but just about every developer working on upcoming titles have said it is better than Xbox by a fair margin. 

That aside, the tech specs may or may not be remarkable, but if trends follow then the PS4 and Xbox 720 will be more powerful than the Wii U, not for certain, but that would be following the trend. This won't exactly bother me because I don't exactly see how much more gaming can evolve, graphically I think the limit has just about been reached, and RAM and other stuff will be added, but I can't quite see how game developers need much more RAM than currently, I can see that being a bad assumption, but I don't see a need for more RAM. I only see improvements in online capabilities and connectivity which I believe will be the "X-Factor" of the Wii U, that and third party support. One thing though that the U has for it is affordability.

According to an article I read there was a source very close to Nintendo quoted saying the price of the Wii U. The console is $300 and the controller is $50. My terrific math skills gave me a total of $350 when bought at a store, assuming the controller comes with the console. That is very affordable especially when I see those PS4s and 720s being nice and expensive. The U will have more appeal for that alone, I promise.

Ultimately though, all of us on here make up a small fraction of consumers. What I say isn't exactly going to be what happens, nor with what any of us say. This is especially true since we hardly know a darn thing about this console. Wii U could be a lasting hit or it could be a flop. It all depends on the online interactivity and the third party support from what I can see. Also better support for a CCP type controller. Also if we know little about the U then we know next to nothing about the PS4 and 720. They could be a new movement in gaming or they could flop. We don't know, only time will tell.

I plan to preorder it.  If it sucks I'll sell it and buy something else, but  I see it being a great success. 

I will buy it. I've bought all the other Nintendo systems, why not now?

I might......
