Topic: Kind of afraid my money was wasted.

By buying a console at launch, you could argue your money was wasted in some regard. I could get a PS3 and probably all 3 Uncharted games and some downloadable for FAR less than people paid for a PS3 on its own in 2006 when it had literally one exclusive anyone cared about. At the end of the day, and ignoring the use of online passes and certain limited releases, all you're really buying is to make up for your own impatience.

HI i am not a great fan of Wii, but i love PS3 and soon i am about to upgrade PS4 at it releases, I think you made a big mistake spending on Wii. Wii is not that popular and has the limitations too. I suggest to put it on back to sale on ebay at direct bargains and go for new PS4.

I feel my money was wasted. However, I was skeptical, even when lining up for the system.
In a year, I understand the Wii U will be better. However, sales are flying, have I been patient I could have got the Wii U at $50 off.
The games Nintendo gave are arguably entertaining. Yet Nintendo only gave 4 Wii U games in the past 6 months, 3 of them were launch titles. They should have at least invested some time in downloadable titles, that aren't Virtual Console.
But at least Nintendo is getting money in their handheld market. So they are at least saving that market, because Sony has little to contribute.

He'll only get like $50 for a Wii. PS4 has limitations as well. Not being as supportive for Move, no BC, and not having the Gamepad in comparison to Wii U are the limitations PS4 will have.
Also, the exclusives. PS4 won't have Mario Kart, Zelda, Pikmin, and other potential games on the console that PS4 won't be able to support no matter how much better the graphics are.

Looking back to the first post 7/2/13... I don't think old mate cares anymore

He must be referring to Wii U; or outright trolling, who knows.

I think he meant Wii U. He's trolling, and he's not even typing the right stuff. Troll failed at trolling.
There's no reason to sell a Wii U for a PS4, because PS4 isn't even out and will cost more.
Better to have something than nothing at all at this point in time.

Not if it's sitting there collecting dust. Obviously his tastes in games aren't compatible with the Wii U and expressing it does not make him a troll.

Nice try, though.

Fine then. He's a 'PS fanboy'. 'Nintendo fanboy' is used in tons of arguments, so it seems to be the appropriate term be be used for this case.
I understand we all have our opinions. So yes, I apologize, Alex, for calling you a troll, but I disagree that buying a Wii U is a waste of money.

I shouldn't have to do this for you @Chrono_Cross

Yeah I know... It's clear that many users on NL are of the blind variety

Either that or they don't feel the need to run background checks on every user they speak to...

Scar, I don't see the point of labels. If someone enjoys what they enjoy, they're fans of it. The problem, though, is that you're coming off hostile and using terms to label and humiliate others' based on their opinions.

Which is wrong.

@Opto

I'm clear of your point, but that does not validate such aggressive behavior from this community's regulars.

In other words, the word "troll" can be offensive. More times than not, it's supposed to be.

There's background checks... then there's noticing that this is a very old thread and the offending post is from a new user shamelessly plugging something...

Still no point was achieved that day

You make a strong case; maybe if I had posted my findings sooner...
For my part I look for sound reasoning from a poster of any stripe. An inability to state the name of the console you are defaming - well it struck me as odd.

Thanks to our spammer friend, we've made much ado over nothing.

Excellent point. Loyalty is its own reward.

Just look at Vitanic.

Question: Was my money wasted?

Wait, you wanted to play those games. You should have seen this coming

It's up to you I don't feel like I've wasted a cent I'll get years of enjoyment out of this console and besides I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything but that's just me I love Nintendo games and don't care much for what the other crap is playstation and xbox are offering lol.
