To add on this discussion, I'm seriously considering to buy a Wii U as my first next gen console. Why? The exclusives keep to a consistent high quality (like say the new Zelda and Mario titles) and the prices are plain cheap overall -- $299.99 and free online is hard to say no to. :3 Not only that, I adored the N64 for real social interaction and owned a GameCube if solely for Melee, so this owes to a bit of nostalgia as well.
Furthermore, I've grown tired with the monotone of super-gritty ultra-violent video games in which their multiplayer components are guaranteed to have children labeling you a faggot at every opportunity. In addition to what feels like having a forced status icon, I also feel that the super-gritty ultra-violence is the reason many recent games become uninspired. Despite that, a PlayStation 4 isn't wholly out of my personal spectrum afterwards.
So, any other pushes?
