Dude, you should spend more time actually playing the console than commenting on it's strengths/weaknesses.

Wii U is good for what it offers, I'll be getting a PS4 when the price drops in around a year so it's not about which console is best, it's what you want to use the console for and with my Wii U perched under my TV i'm getting great gaming experiences.

Hey Everyone.

I'm here on these forums because I just purchased a Wii U. 

With all the hype surrounding the PS4 and X1, I decided I needed to delve into a new platform and upgrade my gaming portfolio.

So I had a decision to make, My first console was a SNES back in 1995, I remember it clearly when I would spend hours playing Super Mario Bros and Kirby. Star Fox was a particular gem and I even had the Nintendo Scope.

Flash forward ten years and I was a Sony dedicated gamer, PS1 and PS2 have dominated my gaming life and even with all the scratched disks, optical errors and over-priced titles - I was enjoying life with the Sony consoles.

My weapon of choice these days is an XBOX 360, which I've had for around 4 years. Needless to say Microsoft keep pumping out titles which over-exceed my assumptions of the capability of this console (COD: Black Ops 2 looks insane!). Add to that the fact that I am a FIFA junkie and still to this day I purchase around one game every two months for the system.

Although I started to become jaded, disillusioned and wanting more from my gaming experiences, titles are becoming more serious, emotional and complex and this is not what I want to deal with in my down time.

So two days ago I walked into a local gaming store and picked up the Wii U Zelda Edition, Pikmin 3, Super Mario Bros U and Splinter Cell Blacklist.

Now, I have read reviews on the Wii U and it's games and people seem to be split over the console with regards to it's capabilities. My verdict is that if you love gaming and want to be challenged, excited and surprised, then the Wii U gives you all of these and more. The Gamepad is probably the best input device I have ever used and the games i'm playing now are gorgeous graphically, innovative and keep you coming back for more.

So there you have it, I had a choice to make and so far, the Wii U dominates the space under my TV.
