Everybody says that the refurb units work fine so it depends on if you want to pay more for a spiffy gamepad.

Not as dead as some would have you believe but it isn't doing too hot.

I am of the opinion that there's enough games out right now to justify at least getting a refurb one. There's still games on the horizon, too. Also goons aren't in charge of Nintendo so they'll likely keep supporting it and won't be going to making cell phone games in the near future.

Just buy a Wii-U you would have spent the money on the steam sale buying games you'll never play anyways.

At least you'll have a physical trophy when years from now people buy a wii-u just out of the novelty factor and you can say yep, I own a Wii-U.

Actually was going to hawk my ps4 because I literally never play it, and it doesn't even have dlna so it's basically it's worse than a ps3

A Wii U with Mario Kart nets you a free Pikmin 3 or Zelda, plus eShop credit if you get the deluxe or whatever, so there's more free poo poo. Then you just buy Super Mario 3D World or Donkey Kong and boom, you have yourself a worthwhile console and many games to enjoy until Smash Bros comes out plus whatever else Nintendo announces at E3.

Wii U good. Use your PC for everything else.

Keep in mind a basic white 8 gig Wii U won't be able to download a full game like Pikmin, you'd need external storage for that

I purposely got a basic 8 gig because I like my Nintendo consoles in white lol

yeah I bought mine because they had a big stack of them at costco and goons kept going "HURR THE PS4 IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND STILL IT'S LIKE GOLD"

I should have sold it to one of them on ebay I guess

I think consoles and bitcoins are the only reasons AMD still has a video card business.
