(much like they did with the wii, which didnt see a price drop for 3 years i think?) I only have 2 real life friends getting it and neither of them are getting the same games.

Also for those multiplatform games the WiiU will have the best online! Pictochat and Instant messaging live anytime. Pause to Video chat anytime. Take Screenshots, Comment on specfic part of the games! (Can't see the comment until you reach that part of a game, designed to discuss spoiler free, //I can't believe hero A killed hero B!//omg I beat that in 30 seconds! look at the time in this screenshot!) Plus there's more unreleased miiverse and Nintendo Network features they still haven't announced! Oh and it's free.. for those playing on 360

Edit: Come on I need a blops2 buddy for zombies, we will be best friends forever.

edit2: Also remember for those getting multiplatform games on other consoles that the WiiU has more then twice the disc read speed and 4 times the RAM!

I highlighted in bold why I have been holding off buying a WiiU. That's one of the worst points to give (and but it's true). The fact that we still don't know much about the WiiU and it's being released THIS MONTH is pretty bad. Basically buying a console at this point assuming you're going to get more. I don't know any other console that's not released this much information so close to launch.

Also (for me) the Wii this generation put me off taking Nintendo consoles seriously. I don't use my Wii except for the exclusives like Zeldas, Marios and recently Xenoblade Chronicles. The Xbox 360 (and PS3) have given what I wanted as a gamer and now my gaming profile is placed on the Xbox. I don't see myself going out to buy 3rd party titles like Batman: AC, Darksiders 2, Bioshock Infinite when I can get them on the Xbox and continue with the new Xbox (keeping my gaming profile).

I don't have any research or evidence to back what I say, but I would think there are people in the same position as me-who bought an Xbox/PS3 because the Wii didn't give gamers what they wanted. Now that the WiiU is out, those gamers have a large PS3/Xbox library with all their save Data, achievements, game profiles, friends etc.
