Thinking about it more it depends on what's coming at launch. The Wii U is looking to have a shockingly good launch. I could wait to get a woa tablet and just have a really great gaming machine. It also depends on how the non gaming functions are at launch and the feature set. Stuff Like Using the 3DS/WIndows Phone on the Next gen systems is important to me.

But honestly don't have a wii and i'm buying xenoblade and The Last Story so i want to play them as soon as possible.

This. Plus the price will probably drop for the Wii U once the PS4 and new Xbox come out in 2013 or 2014.

Well, since I have no interest in Microsofts exclusive titles I'd definitely pick the WiiU over the NextBox. I'll be going Sony/Nintendo/PC next gen again.

No - WiiU all the Way!!!

I won't necessarily get it day 1, but probably before the end of the year.

I've got a great gaming PC already, so I don't really ever need an Xbox, and I've always been a Nintendo fan since I've started playing games so I'm going to have to buy the Wii U. Maybe not first day, but pretty soon after.

No, but then again, I won't be getting the New Xbox either.

WiiU, day one purchase. Only company for me that comes before Nintendo is Apple.

I'm so sorry.

You have my commiserations.

I'm not a huge Xbox fan at all, I've never really found the appeal of first-person shooters & that seems to make up such a huge amount of the 360's exclusives and attention. I'm more likely to hold out & see what Sony are going to come up with & then make my mind up on what home console to buy then. While I adore Nintendo, they don't get all the best RPG, Strategy or Gundam games. UNTIL then though I'll buy all the handhelds I can afford!

i like the xbox 360 i have 41 games for it and my ps3 only got 7 and my wii 36 so i dont wanna go out and buy anouther console specialy idf there game line-up isnt good i can wait a year

Yes.

I see no reason to get the nextBox if there really isn't any 1st party exclusives that stand out. I still stand by my stance in that Microsoft will have a hard time in the next gen if they can't get their 1st party efforts together and stop relying on 3rd party content- because really, it seems to me that all the 3rd party content is going to make it's way to Nintendo's platforms and of course, Sony's no doubt (which has been happening all the time with 360 and PS3).

My brother might get it though.

But WiiU is all I really want this upcoming holiday season.

At the moment, I am not really interested in purchasing the Xbox 720(or whatever it may be called) until I have learned more about it. Anyway, I think that it is highly unlikely that Microsoft's new system will be ready for release this year. I expect them to announce that they are working on it and possibly some specs at this year's E3 but that will probably be it. I am strongly considering picking up a Wii U though. At first I was discouraged by the underwhelming unveiling at E3 but now that more is being revealed about the Wii U I am a lot more optimistic about it. I think that Nintendo has been on a bit of a roll as of late and they are taking the necessary steps to improve their company and products. There is still a lot of work to be done but they seem to be heading in the right direction. I won't be officially sold on the Wii U until I actually see what the system is capable of as well as the games and of course, the price.

I'm going to get the Wii U day one because it's Nintendo, and I never use my 360 anymore, sooooo...

No new consoles for me this year. Not in the budget.
Had I the funds, however, I find little of interest on Microsoft's boxes, so no, their launch wouldn't stop me buying the Wii U.

Nope. I just got a PS3 >.<
Oh yeah, and XBOX SUXXXX MICROSOFT IS TEH SUXOR LOL
So that's that.

I'm thinking my next console purchase will be a PS3. Unless info on the WiiU really blows me away, I will probably hold off on getting one for awhile.

Wii U is the only thing I want. Nintendo makes quality hardware.

Are you actually doubting that the Wii U will be more powerful than the PS3? it will definitely be more powerful.

He never said that. And even though the Wii U will be more powerful it won't be noticeable with launch titles. look at the 360 and PS3 launches. The games looked good , but not any noticeable difference between them and the last-gen systems. It took over a year for games to start coming out that had any noticeable difference (Gears of war, Metal Gear Solid 4).

Not only that but the Wii U is going to have launch games by Nintendo a company with no experience in HD experience while being compared too Halo 4 and The Last of Us.

After my second 360's RROD, I plan to never buy a 720. As for the Wii U, time (and games) will tell...
