Why though? there aren't many games (obviously as it's a new console) and I've already played the best multiplatform ones on PC - Darksiders 2, Batman, Mass Effect 3. No point letting it sit there to gather dust. A year from now they'll probably have refined it a bit more and improved things, and there will be games to play, and it'll all be cheaper.
You could ask yourself why bother getting it in the first place. Well, I really wanted to see what it was like and really wanted to play Zombi U. Now that's done it has no purpose. Got a PS3 for Netflix and games, PC for games and browser etc.
Also, there don't seem to be any decent games on the horizon next year. Nintendo Direct didn't reveal anything of interest. They really needed a big AAA title like a new Metroid or something at least but anything like that seems to be way off!
Just because the Nintendo Direct didn't reveal anything doesn't mean there aren't big games coming. Not everything gets announced early and Nintendo in particular have a tendency to keep things secret until nearer the time of release. In general they aren't typically very forthcoming about information on upcoming releases. I suspect there will be more announced in the months to come. I suspect Nintendo is giving third parties a chance to release their games without stiff completion from AAA first party titles and to try and gain as much support from as possible.
