    Crappy poll is crappy. No option for not getting it. I am not getting one because I already have a current gen console and don't need another one. I am waiting on the "real" next gen consoles to get here. I also don't like the controller and other than ZombiU, the games suck.

    So let's talk about this. The latest video showed Bill Trinen staring at an orange the same way Iwata stared at a bunch of bananas near E3 earlier this year. What could they be hinting at? Another Yoshi Story?


    Na, they both just have a fruit fetish.

    ZombiU is pretty neat. Besides that, I just don't think I have have a friend stop by and have them see me using that tablet thing. New tech usually tickles my interest just from that new product "high," but not a blip on the radar with this one. Enjoy all.

    Well as an incentive to sell I offer one free game. So the customer will get the Deluxe edition Wii-U with a copy of probably NSMBU

    Someone on craigslist contacted me, The original sell price was 700 with a game. He offered me 100 extra dollars to hold on to it for it.

    So $800.
    I reserved two of them. I can essentially at this point get the Wii-U for free. Which I think I'm probably going to keep. Though I know how bad some early adopters can get screwed.

    Do you guys think there is a chance R* will announce GTA5 for WiiU? I hope in the future they release it for WiiU. i will be buying it for PS3 if they dont.

    Well... its a free market for them so I don't see why not. The Wii would have required them to make lots of drastic change but with WiiU they could straight up port with no issues I would think.

    It really depends on how well the system and third party does, that will be the best indicator to if they can garner some third party games from other not as fortunate games. For GTA though, it will sell regardless of platform at least for the flagship ones.

    Well, this is a launch Wii U thread, and it is assuming that people interested in the Wii U will be the ones visiting it... if you never plan on buying a Wii U, you have no interest in it, meaning you have no reason to be in a Wii U Launch thread, meaning that there should be no poll option for you.
    Seeing as how you ARE here, though, it is safe to conclude that there is at least some marginal interest in the Wii U on your part, and that you plan on buying one sooner or later.
