Bets as to how soon a price drop occurs! Place your bets here!
I am just not interested in the WiiU tbh. I want to get a Wii back, but that's because I have NSMB Wii and the Mario All-Stars anniversary set. Also, I have MGS Twin Snakes, and WiiU won't play GCN games.

$350 is a great price. I was expecting a much higher one. I'm completely sold on this system and will pre-order it A.S.A.P.

I pre-ordered today. The deluxe bundle, and 4 games with it.
I'm excited, I mean I know it's the end of the world for everyone else, and proclaiming Nintendo's death from the rooftops....But I'm actually excited for the launch.

Once I go black, I'm never going back. Definitely getting the black deluxe one. $50 more gets you 24 extra GBs, a game, all the stands/chargers, and I believe we also get that new rewards program for a few years. Sad that Pikmin 3 won't be launching, but there are a few games that have my eye anyhow, so it's fine.

Preordering mine tomorrow, was thinking over whether to get the black premium bundle for £310 or the same bundle with ZombiU and the pro controller for £350 unfortunately its not my type of game Black Premium console with Super Mario Bros WiiU and Lego City Undercover and hopefully Pokemon Black 2 if theres some way to play DS games on tv via the game pad, is good enough for me

And I bought it. Paid it in full at BestBuy.com with in store pick-up with my gift cards from there. Awesome.
As for games, I am going to get NSMBU, ZombiU, Rayman Legends and Pikmin 3 when it releases in 2013. I might opt to get Sonic Racing and Aliens on this over the 360 as well.

And my interest has gone up a slight bit on the news that Bayonetta 2 is a WiiU exclusive title. I loved the first one, and while I think it's dumb to have 2 as a console exclusive, I want to play it. I won't be getting a WiiU at launch unless I get a flow of extra money between now and 11/18.

I could see Bayonetta 2 being a timed exclusive and then coming to PS3/360 later in the year. I agree it doesn't make much sense in releasing it on just one platform.

Great price for the deluxe bundle, but I still have almost zero interest in it.
I bought a Wii about six months after launch and I've never had a console that I've used less, although it closely rivals my Gamecube. See the pattern?
Guess I'm just not a Nintendo guy anymore.
Would consider getting one of these down the line after a significant price drop, but until then, my 360/PS3/Wii combo will do just fine, and then there's the next gen X-Box and Playstation to get excited about.
Good to see some people really hyped up about it, though. I hope it does well. Can't imagine a world with a Nintendo console.

All the Bayonetta 2 hated on Twitter/Tumblr/elsewhere seriously makes me feel so embarrassed. It's not just the typical entitled brats who grew up in the later eras, either. It's just as much grown ass men throwing temper tantrums about this.

I hope that there's some sort of way to play ds/3ds games on tv/gamepad seeing as nintendo's doing digital dowloads on their games now

I'm quite tempted because of ZombiU, it honestly seems like a better zombie game experience than Dead Island, and various other games on the 360/PS3. There's also Super Smash Brothers, which is always a ton of fun.

No Zelda U until 2014 apparently probably the same for the big console seller mario game

To me that's not shocking.
That's why I loved the bitching from people on Twitter last night. "WHERE WAS ZELDA!?" "WHERE'S SMASH!?!?"
What are they literally going to show from those games? Especially ones still VERY early in development. I guess people want a logo, or a wire-frame or something...

I don't know why they didn't start working on Mario U and Zelda U when they first announced the Wii U, they could've easily got Mario U as a launch title, and Zelda U probably next year

Apprently Gamestop has stopped taking pre-orders on the deluxe edition.

Already reading that Gamestop has already, or is pretty damn close to hitting their number for Deluxe Bundle pre-orders.
I jetted to Gamestop like right after the conference, I knew I had to pre-order as early as possible. I missed out on the Wii pre-order, and that was just a three ring circus until I finally was able to get one. I was not going through that again with the Wii U.

Oh boy I can't wait to see what it's like once the 720/PS4 are announced...
I hope Amazon has the next xbox up for pre-order. I am sitting on over $700 credit on there, so pre-ordering the next xbox from them with free prime shipping would be ideal. It doesn't look like they are going to carry the Wii U or at the least, have it for pre-order.
