A personally weird thought...

I have this wishful feeling that Wii U is going to be somewhat of a savior for me. Prestigious games such as Mass Effect, Call of Duty, and the Batman: Arkham series are porting to Wii U, and it has me thinking; is there really a need to buy a PS3/360 at this point? Of course, we know that they both have their exclusivity as far as game library, but then again, the chances of me hitting two birds with one stone with some games seems hopeful. I'm a Nintendo head before Sony, and I've never been big on Microsoft outside of Windows. But there were a few games that I had like to play but wasn't willing to purchase the console just for said few. I don't even wanna THINK about PS4 or Xbox 720 right now...
I suppose the best (and only) thing I can do right now is wait it out since I still have some time. If this pulls off, I'll be shocked as an old gamer to pass through this gen without owning either of the big dogs.
Please keep your thoughts and opinions cordial.

Watchout Solix this forum has Sony fanboys when it's against Microsoft.
lol wouldn't calling them "fanboy" cause the flame war?
Anyway, I've barely scratched the surface of this gen so I have a lot to be excited about this Winter.

There is a point to owning a PS3. Plenty of exclusives that won't be coming to the Wii U anytime soon, and then there's quite a few games which probably won't be getting a Wii U port due to them just being older games.
Xbox...eh, honestly, if you have a PS3/good gaming PC, Xbox isn't really worth having.

I told myself that "a Wii can hold me out until the Wii U comes out"
Didn't happen last September.

Time to, well...go against the consensus here.

ha! +1
to OP... if you really have money to spare, get the ps3... I mean really really... just to get the taste of the exclusive games..

I do, however, feel like I'm missing some good exclusives on the PS3. I'll probably get around to getting one once the price decreases after the Wii U launch. (That is, if it does. )

I only have a Wii and a gaming worthy PC. I'm really only interested in Nintendo's exclusives and I play all my multiplats on my PC.

The price will drop in time. Maybe after the Wii U launches, but you would likely get it even cheaper if they decide to lower the price greatly when they release the PS4 ( might not be for some time though).

thats why my preference is the wiiu as long as it holds up to what, %70 the power of the next things, because heck , i could go for innovation instead of just plain polygon pushing, which is easily achieved on pc, at cheeper prices personally
oh, and linux gaming, gatta love and hate it, VALVE HURRY UP

The only criticism I'd like to tell you about your reasoning is... Why do you call it weird? I think the exact same way...This is coming from someone who has never owned a PS3 or Xbox 360 yet. Call me "noob" if you will.

ps3 exclusives mostly are shooters... FPS and TPS... one racing game Gran tourismo, which to me sucked compare to it's predecessor.. and demon soul.. though dark soul will come to PC later... soo, you aren't missing much.. chances are you'll get similar experience on the Wii U later...
