After the E3 2014 Nintendo direct, I decided to do what I would have never even considered several months ago. I bought a Wii U. (dramatic crack of lightning) Seriously though, I believe the Wii U has a load of potential.
Things that convinced me:
1. Deals: Right now if you buy the new mario kart you get to pick one out of four possible games as an extra. Thats pretty good, two games for the price of one. Each Wii U also comes with a free game too. Compare this to the competitors, if you buy the baseline console and one game, you end up with a console and one game. If you buy a Wii U and a copy of Mario Kart U, you end up with a console and three games!
2. Original Content: My primary method of gaming is PC it is without a doubt the superior platform to game on as it has no limitations of hardware. Many games that are released on PS4/Xbox are also released on PC and often times at a higher framerate and better graphical quality. Even many Xbox One console exclusives make there way to the PC. The Wii U on the other hand has plenty of games that will never, ever be released on any other platform. Since these games are usually very good, I have no other choice but to get the Wii U to experience these high quality games.
3. Its backwards compatible: I never bought a Wii, now its built in. Thats awesome, finally I can play Mario Galaxy and many of the other Wii only games.
4. Nintendo supports 60 fps: My main complaint with playing on consoles is the sub par feel of playing a game at 30 or less frames per second. However, Nintendo has had a very good track record of releasing their Wii U games built to run at 60 fps. Mario Kart U, Super Mario 3d World, Super Smash Bros, Bayonetta 1/2, and many more. Do or are expected to run at 60 fps and some games even go as far as to run at 1080p resolution, although I am less picky when it comes to resolution as it doesn't effect the game play.

So there you have it, now follow my example and get a Wii U because its great!
