My plan is to avoid it. At least until there are at least 2 of their big name titles. And are good. I wasted my money the day I bought Wii. The first time those words have been said by me ever. I love Ninty, but they didn't really blow my mind this gen. I am skipping most all of next gen, if it matters. I plan on picking up a PS4 when 5 hits shelves. There is far too much content for me to ever play today. And that's just games that are out as of now. Let alone 2 years from now.

I hope Ninty gives me a reason to buy their console. I really do.
everyone who keeps saying they're gonna wait and see what MS and Sony release first are crazy. Their next gens aren't coming out for at least two more years and in that time frame all the best multiplats of the coming times will be on the Wii U as the better version. Their next gens will be stupid expensive too, so you'd have to wait another year before their prices drops. That's 3 years of waiting. That's a long wait.
I got a Deluxe Bundle with ZombiU and New Super Mario Bros. U. I also plan on picking up a WiiU Pro Controller and another WiiMote. By the end of the launch period I plan on having Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends and Mass Effect 3 for my WiiU.

You just made all that up tho. We don't know when the next consoles are releasing, how much they;ll be, or if WiiU will get best multiplats.
I def had my reservations about a while ago... but now that's release is closing in... I can't help but want it. Even if it doesn't end up as a persons "favorite/Number 1" gaming console, it'll still have plenty of cool things to offer people.

Think about, don't dream about it
I am not avoiding it, just not getting one. I am not interested in the controls. I am also not interested in Nintendo's games and the rest are multiplats that I can get on my PC and/or PS3. Only interesting looking game it has coming is ZombieU. I am fine with my PS3 until the PS4 releases. Plus I am building a new PC in a few months and I have 35 games waiting that I have yet to play. So yeah, I am fine skipping the Wii U. I don't look at the Wii U as next gen. I look at it as Nintendo FINALLY entering this gen with a slightly more powerful system.
I ditched my 360 as part of a large trade-in for my premium WiiU. Even at this early stage, WiiU is far more interesting than xbox360 has been for that past few years.
Got one on reserve, traded in my still in box 360 and ps3. Gamestop guys looked at me funny. I told him i just never play the systems anymore or at all only thing i played was my wii and pc.
Not that I don't think it'll be a great system, with some sweet games. I'm just not made of money, and I don't think I'll feel a need to buy it just because it's the new thing. I also don't own (and never did) a PS3 or a 360. Been just about exclusively PC gaming for like 7 years. My roommate has a PS3 though, so I still got to play MGS4. I was happy about that.
Guys I was just curious as GAMERS, how it is that you can possibly avoid the WiiU this Fall when it launches? I would think that the vast majority of us appreciate the latest and greatest that gaming has to offer ShoTTyMcNaDeS
I can't avoid a Nintendo system; I tried it twice with the N64 and GCN and I always end up purchasing a Nintendo console each generation.
4th Generation we had a Genesis then two years later we got an SNES. 5th Generation we had a PS1 then a year later we got an N64. 6th Generation I had a Dreamcast and PS2; two years later I got a GCN. 7th Generation I purchased a Wii at launch. 8th Generation I preordered a Wii U.

Your logic will not compute with most system warriors.
How can I wait? Simple, I have loads of games to play and several systems to play them on.
If WiiU is the console to complement PC for me going forward, I'll know soon enough. No need to jump in day one when almost nothing on it appeals to me that I can't play on other platforms.
Not buying that PoS for multiplats. What is there? Nothing for me, that is for sure. If I get multiplats it will be for the two consoles that actually have online integration from the start of this gen. I'm not buying a WiiU for CoD, when I could get CoD on the 360/PS3 and play with my friends.
How i can avoid it? Its weak and i don't waste money on supposed to be *next gen* weakass systems. Has only 1 game i would even bother trying (ZombiU) and there's pretty much nothing else even worth mentioning... I actually don't understand how can a gamer not avoid a 360 1.5 released in 2012. I can understand Nintendo fanboys buying it cuz they're fueled of nostalgia but other than that the system shouldn't be anything worth your money.
Nintendo is mostly designed for kids, so its not hard for me to avoid it.

Avoding every time they try to appeal to more adult audiences. Something they've been trying since N64 and something they are getting controversy for (see: Bayonetta 2).
Ugh..I want the tech, but where's GTA, FF and MGS? If Nintendo had acquired those I'd jump aboard without much thinking. The price tag isn't exactly high either, just a it more than my Vita :p

Avoding every time they try to appeal to more adult audiences. Something they've been trying since N64 and something they are getting controversy for (see: Bayonetta 2). They did try on the n64 but after that I would say their efforts stopped or became minimal. Which I think is their problem we don't want to be focused on just once in a while or with limitations. Like 3ds has shooters but no online ones for me.

But both games bombed so bad in sales (compared to a spiritual sequel to a movie based game,which they also published, on N64), Nintendo pretty much saw no reason to publish their own games like those and pretty miuch relied on third parties (who weirdly enough have better results, despite them having issues with sales of their games on Nintendo systems) for it, so much so, Nintendo published a Resident Evil game on 3DS (in Europe at least) and is publishing the Wii U version of Ninja Gaiden 3 and Bayonetta 2.
I certainly have the money for it, but alas, I am without the desire for now... maybe down the road if it can separate itself from what the 360 and ps3 already do I'll look into it, but for now, its a no... and easily avoided. I need to see if Nintendo has another approach than just "nostalgia"... I always root for Nintendo, but they never live up to it for me... anymore, anyway.

Translation: "I am a fanboy and won't buy anything Nintendo." Pot meet kettle.
