I just thought I should ask this.
I'm looking at the whining that the Wii U won't be getting games like Call of duty and such and I realized: I personally don't care.
My Wii collection is:
Blue are exclusive third parties, red are multiplatform. The only multiplatform I like is Sonic Unleashed.
I'd be perfectly happy with just Nintendo games. I did have an Xbox, but I found I didn't really care for any of the games available.
What about you?

I'm not the biggest gamer. Nintendo has specific games that Microsoft and Sony haven't quite been able to match yet, like anything in the Mario series, Zelda, or Super Smash bros. Those are fun games I like to play.
Not only that, but Sonic games typically come to Nintendo, sometimes there's an exclusive (like Colors or Lost World). I don't really play too many other games, except the occasional game, like Rayman.
After that, I stick with PC, seeing as most games I may be interested in will come out to the PC. And with Steam and their sales, I don't have to pay much to get a lot of content.
I'm not a big fan of FPS games. I can recognize that the Halo series is pretty good, but for an FPS, I have any option on the PC (TF2 being the only one I play).
Bethesdia games come out on PC, Ubisoft, SEGA is releasing PC versions, and so on.
Skullgirls was originally out on XBLA, but I knew it was eventually come to PC. (Most of those sorts of games are likely going to come to Steam, though)
The games I typically only miss out on are great games like the Team Ico games.
I don't have an issue with some games not making it to WiiU because I already don't care about them from the beginning.

I sure as hell don't. I bought a Wii U for the first party games. Anything else is just extra.

A lot of people can only afford a single console, so most go for the one with the widest variety of games. Sooooooooooooooo.

when 3rd parties are this lazy, half-assed, and cowardly, I can't say it should surprise people why most games bought on Nintendo systems are made by Nintendo.

The Wii U will be getting games like Call of Duty. Your argument is invalid.

I bought the Wii U for half an half.
This console will get all the games, just give it time. No one is patient enough.

I hate when people say that. Look, if the Wii U had the other games, u would have less reasons to buy the other console, so instead of wasting money for the other consoles, you could use the money to buy more games.

Well... yeah I'd prefer to be able to only have a Nintendo system for the majority of a generation and be able to play a nice ratio of first, second, and third party games without needing to upgrade my PC 2x a generation. I mean I'd buy a PlayStation regardless when they finally release a true, non PC exclusive I want (Sony did pretty bad this gen for PS3, but I had a huge backlog anyways), but at least then it feels like a complete experience until that point.

While the majority of games I play are Nintendo titles, there are a few third party series that I really like to keep up with, and I would have loved to have gotten all titles on the Wii U, instead of having to buy two consoles.

But the Wii U is getting Call of Duty.

I hate this. Why on earth do people want console gaming to be completely homogenous. What is the point in having multiple consoles if the games are all the same?
Who the hell cares about buying more games if they are all middling multiplat crap instead of awesome generation defining exclusives? This is the crap that turned this gen to the crappiest in gaming history, and people are so used to being shoveled feces they just lewve their mouths gaping waiting for more terds to be shoveled in.
Because 3rd parties have been trying to convince consumers of a one-console future for years. Furthermore, companies have always tried to perpetuate that there is only ONE line of evolution for consoles and that is the "just add more power to it!", blissfully unaware of Diminishing Returns, which are now happening as seen with the PS4 and the XB1. The entire reason Nintendo went in a different direction than everyone is because they realized first that just doing the same thing as everyone else wasn't going to work forever.
And companies HATED that. They hated being proven wrong by somebody they wrote off as a has-been, only for Nintendo to come back from the dead and basically humiliate them. They showed that motion controls weren't just a gimmick and that the huge leaps in tech philosophy 3rd parties had been perpetuating for years wasn't the end-all, be-all. It's akin to a fundamentalist finding out that the Bible had huge errors that needed to be corrected. But still 3rd parties have been just making thesame crap for years, terrified of actually putting forth effort or scaling back budgets a bit to focus on what's important.

Well, I wasn't going to buy the wii U originally, but my great grandmother purchesed it for me back in May as a... real early birthday present, (My birthday is in Agust), so I'll probably buy most of the multi-plats for the Wii U, unless I can only get them on a computer and then I'd only buy them if my current gaming computer can support it decently. I probably won't buy any more consoles except replacements due to the bad economy and lack of storage.

My humble opinion on the matter:
First, I chose a Nintendo console before others because I care about some Nintendo IPs more than any others: I LOVE Zelda, I think that Metroid is much better than most FPSs.
Second, I do care about multi platform coming to the WiiU, you see, back in the days when I had a Wii I would always wish I could try out popular multi platform games such as Bayonetta, GTA, COD, etc. but it wasn't possible and it made me feel bad. Now thanks to the Wii U being powerful enough it seems we will be able to enjoy such multi platforms.
