(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.

I wouldn't mind the price if there were more games I could play on it. Like I said, the third party titles I want I'm getting on the 360. There's various reasons for this, like getting achievements and certain online games like Black Ops 2 my buddies will be playing.

That's simply not true. Straight away, voice chatting on the Wii U is going to be a huge pain in the ass. On top of that, if you choose to use the ProController, and I would because it's the 360's design, you have to keep the Gamepad near you so you can keep the mic plugged in at all times.

Even then, you have to have the right games that support voice chat, since you can't just start a group or party like the 360. Also, Nintendo's unproven when it comes to online, sure they've dabbled in it before, but I have more faith in Sony's online then Nintendo's. It'll be interesting to see how Nintendo handles Black Ops 2 being online.

(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

All that sounds neat but I wouldn't use it even though it's going to be free. The pennies a day I pay for Xbox Live give me the ability to party up with my friends and access various apps. Just because something's free doesn't make it better.

That's great, but it's up to the developers to take advantage of the hardware. There's absolutely no guarantee that the games will look or run faster on the Wii U.
