In my opinion, Red Dead Redemption is better. Singleplayer was a lot more immersive for me and I enjoyed the story a lot more. Not only that, but the combat was a lot better. Both are great games though. On the multiplayer side I felt like Red Dead had better mechanics because of the combat, but GTA IV was a helllll of a lot of fun on free roam. Playing it with friends is a blast.
While I do think the system sells extremely well, I don't think it has great third party support. Just no good games from devs outside Nintendo. Although, the Wii U seems a lot more friendly to developers than the original Wii did. I'm hoping for some good games outside of the already amazing Nintendo franchises that will bring me into getting this. The fact Arkham City and Battlefield 3 are gonna be on it gives me the impression this will be a far better generation than the last two for the Wii, if we're talking about quality games.
I'd get it no doubt. Maybe on the Wii U's virtual console there will be gamecube games that make use of the Wii controller. I highly doubt Nintendo would be nice enough to do so though. :(
