Personally I think its a mistake selling the PS3 and Xbox 360 as this is going to be one of the best years they are going to have in terms of top class quality games a lot of which won't be released on the Wii U. You don't need to be a hardcore fan of exclusives and the PC can't make up for all the games that won't be released for it. As for the best console launch line up in recent memory hardly. The Wii U launch line up was poor with most of the quality games being ports of games that came out several months and in one case over a year before on other consoles. The PS Vita had a far better launch line up then the Wii U.
The multiplats coming for PS3 and 360, at least the good ones, will be on PC as well. I played the recently released exclusives before selling them and the ones coming out I have zero interest in. Honestly it depends on what types of games someone is interested in and what they want to invest their time in. Between SWTOR and all of the Zelda titles I'm catching up on I'm good for now. I don't play FPS games on consoles so what I'm looking for are RPGs and platformers.
As far as the Wii U launch lineup I was satisfied with it, and was referring to consoles in any case. Vita never appealed to me, I got a 3DS XL instead, so honestly I don't know what games are available for it or what it launched with. Even the laziest ports on the Wii U are good games, and even gimped I enjoyed Madden, mostly for the playcalling. The sheer number of available games available across nearly every genre is what makes it one of the best launches IMO. They really did try to appeal to everyone, not the lowest common denominator.
I totally appreciate your opinion! I just didn't get any use out of either of the other systems at the time, and none of the upcoming games appeal to me, personally, so it was a win win for me, declutter the media closet and get a new system with some promising upcoming and available games.
