It&#8217;s the #2 next-gen console after PS\/4 and has a significant lead over Xbox One.  And let&#8217;s be honest&#8230; if Wii U is on life support, then by that standard XB1 was dead on arrival.  <\/p>\n<p>When I look at the racks at the store, I see row upon row of Wii U games.  Not to mention all the Wii games.  Maybe 1\/3 case of XB1 games and 1\/2 case of PS\/4 games.  It honestly seems like there&#8217;s too many arm chair quarterbacks who have their collective knickers in a wad in *wanting* Wii U to fail.<\/p>\n<p>As far as people rushing to by ANY console&#8230; it&#8217;s just not going to happen.  In this economy people are buying to replace an existing console, not simply to keep up with the newest toy.  It&#8217;s not just Nintendo who&#8217;s sales are down.  Look at the backpedaling Microsoft is doing to try and get people to buy.  That argument is a straw man.<\/p>\n<p>So far, I&#8217;ve not regretted at all choosing Wii U over XB1 or even PS\/4.  The range of genres on it is by far the most complete.  We can play Mario, the Lego games, or you choice of FPS like Call of Duty.  No&#8230; Grand Theft Auto is not on it.  I consider that a good thing.  <\/p>\n<p>So what are you thoughts?  Especially if you have a Wii U?  Are you still glad you have the system?  What games\/features are your favorite?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hmmm&#8230; Another Wii U hit piece by a supposed Nintendo fan?
