Steering away from it personally until towards Black Friday and Christmas time of this year. Not cool with the $300 price tag considering it's got the guts on par with an Xbox 360 and PS3. That's been my knock on them since the Wii was released.

 

Nintendo just refuses to up it's graphical capabilities and hardware and it also has a habit of not drawing in third party companies to keep it's library more open and diverse. 

 

But to ask for a $300 shell out on launch with maybe ten games to choose from with no demos or freebies is disappointing. Hate to say it but the last great launch for me personally was the N64. Where it seemed like it was clearly more powerful than my PS1 at the time.

 

I know the Wii sold more than any other home console they've ever produced but the Wii U was terrible. And after Playstation and Xbox started copying the Wii remote and sensor type gaming stuff they've pretty much chopped down some of Nintendo's signature gear. With better games and graphics.
