Unless I'm taking this out of context, why would I want to buy a console when the games I want haven't been released yet?
There's not a single game--not a SINGLE game you think you'd want to play on the Wii U? Even if there wasn't, you may as well just pick it up the next time you're in the area so you don't have to do a shopping trip later.
I don't want to buy a console with games I don't really want to play because I want the console, it'll collect dust and could be damaged while it's not being used.
Jesus dude, do you use your game console as drink coasters? Even the 360 isn't that faulty.
On top of that, if I have to wait 3 months after buying it for a game to come out then that's three months of the guarantee wasted too.
That 360 must have scared you for life....
I'd rather wait until the games I wanted to play were released than buy the console. I don't see why I don't have common sense for choosing to do that.
Not even interested in NSMBWU? Hell, just save yourself a shopping trip if nothing else. This isn't a Microsoft product that bursts into flames when it reaches contact with air.
Unless you know you will enjoy the games, why buy the Wii U to be met with disappointment?
Because the other systems aren't out and are comprised of 3rd party titles that are bound to disappoint as always. Whereas the Wii U already has a couple of titles worth playing with. Do I want more? Yes. Is two better than none? Yes.
If you're waiting for games to be released then you're probably not going to enjoy the games that are currently available to you a great deal.
I disagree--no I find it to be the exact opposite, in fact. Rather than racing through the games as quickly as possible just to get to the next, you actually get to enjoy the titles you have and play them to the fullest rather than rushing through them all to get to the next and having a half-baked experience with each game.
Can I ask why buying a console and waiting is going to make a game more enjoyable than if I was to buy it with a load of other games at once?
Because you rush yourself and don't focus yourself. Urgh...nothing ruins a game experience more than doing playthroughs of multiple games. And even if you don't do that, by the time you're halfway through, you're thinking non-stop about the other games and not focusing your attention and appreciation to what you are playing--in fact, this is how Okami was ruined for me the first time I played it.
I don't understand why it makes a difference because either way, you are going to play the game if you've decided to buy it, be it upon release or not.
Buying it soon means playing it sooner and also more play time. It also gives you more to enjoy while you wait for the next title.
I could play games on my older consoles that are either going to give me more enjoyment even if I've played them before
Oh, I thought they fried because you didn't play them for months and the dust make them explode.
or I could find other activities that are going to give me at least as much enjoyment as playing mediocre games on the Wii U.
Did you actually buy a Wii U? Just curious.
I just think that there are many people like myself who are waiting to buy the Wii U when the library expands and starts to include the games that we are waiting for such as Wind Waker HD.
...You would buy the Wii U for a game you already own and not NSMBWU? Why? Even if you didn't own tWW HD, why not just buy the cheaper version with better graphics and save yourself $55
It's just a matter of time before the sales pick back up. If Nintendo knew a little better, they'd start to pick up older franchises like Star Fox
Didn't they end that because of poor sales?
Since WHEN? I haven't heard that claim, but as far as reputation goes, MS is the exact opposite. They're the gaming company Moms and Dads pull their kids away from because they don't want them exposed to that.
