Why are you guys trying to defend Nintendo and it's almost like you're mad at him for selling his Wii U, he's right, 2D Mario sure as hell doesn't cut it for a whole new console, and the third party games are mostly on par or worse than the 360/PS3 counterparts, let him buy one in the future if he is interested in new games coming out.

Well, they've rushed it out for Christmas haven't they (day one system update of 1Gb then another one of 625mb not long after says it all) and they want (need) a good head starts on Microsoft and Sony's new consoles.

I just... don't understand why you'd go ahead and let yourself have a £20 loss, when you can have it collect dust and not lose anything. :/ I don't get your "Why let it collect dust?" argument when it's obviously the better option compared to losing money when you buy it again. Unless you're planning on waiting however long until the first Wii U bundle with a £20+ game you happen to like pops up... Because the price probably won't go down for at least 3 years, judging by the Wii. Plus the fact that they're losing money already making them reluctant to drop the price even if the sales are slower than Wii's. Not that I see slow sales happening considering the good games coming out Q1-Q2 next year... (IMO anyways, cause Aliens and Pikmin's cool.)

At least you make sense lol. It's best to just wait it out and see if the games or price drop comes first if you don't like what you see at launch and the near future. That way you don't lose money and you don't feel like you wasted $300 on a console.

Like I said, I haven't really lost anything, I've got to play several games to completion and play with the consoles features. Think of it as paying just £20 to rent it for a week.It's really no biggy. People will happily blow that on a few drinks down the pub for one night.

It was nothing to do with a lack of games or being dumb and not 'researching' before buying. I'm 42, been buying consoles at launch for years now, this is actually the only one I will be selling soon after having my wicked way with it, hehe. Seriously though, the thing is so slow that I don't want to touch it again until all that is sorted out, if they ever can. It makes the PS3 downloads and installs seem like lightning speed.

While I do not understand the need to post about it here, I think its fair enough to sell the console if the poster is only going to lose £20.

Renting a Wii U with ZombiU for £20 is very good value.

Exactly, thank you.

...and the really slow UI and downloads.

a] It's not a problem.

b] I clearly stated I knew there would be few games (same on any new console)

c] Already have a PS3/360

Click into System Settings. Wait 15 seconds. Now click Back. Wait 20 seconds. That's slow, and everyone is affected. Nintendo is aware of the issue and will patch it, but it's a real annoyance to have to wait for something to load when I never wait to go into screens like that on my 360.

This.

It's appallingly slow. 15 seconds just to get into system settings, then another 15 second to go back to the home screen. Anything like that is almost instantaneous on the PS3, 360 and has been since launch day, not like it had to be patched to make it faster.
