Sir, what you're saying is upsetting me and my friends here.
I suggest you appologize for your rude behavior.
Hold on - I've got something for you. You see this? Now, what I've just pulled out of my jacket here is the real deal. Now I laid this beauty just this morning, wrapped it up in my silk blanket, and today, he's my little buddy. I call him Curt, and you take a good look, 'cause he's some REAL shit. Yeah, that's right: Shit's just got real. You might even notice the little shades that I stuck on him, because that's how he rolls.
Now, how about that?
Why would you buy a console on launch?
I'm getting a Wii U but will wait a month or two or three while they iron out the problems
Launch console buyers are like the testers
So far, Monster Hunter looks like the only thing that could get me to get a Wii U. That and Smash Bros.

I can't think of a reason to buy a WiiU, can you give me one? I'm not trying to make you mad, it's just... Well lets just say I never bought into the Wii hype, that controller is a joke. Calm down, it's just my opinion. I prefer sitting with a controller in my lap instead of waving around in the air and getting tired in my arm, never really getting the game to be precise. Though I must say the Zelda game had a pretty good implementation of the controller, although it was pretty tedius having to reset it all the time.
Anyway I'm going off course. If I don't see anything fun with the controller, what should I see in the WiiU?
Cute animation but I pray that they fake the time it takes to copy those things. Because I don't think it should take longer than at most a minute. Though probably like 10 seconds...
Also I can't believe how low-res their system seems to be. Seriously, it's almost 2013 and Nintendo can't keep up? Have they even heard about anti aliasing?
I wonder if it's that they don't want beautiful games on their system or that they are just saving money because they know some people will still buy the games due to gameplay and not care about graphics.
Still, is the system even stronger than the Wii? By how much, 10%? How far behind are they becoming in terms of hardware power, I believe even the super cheap ouya console will be many times stronger than WiiU.

So your saying the xbox360/ps3 are only 1% better than Wii.
I was also one of the people who was bashing the Wii U so I decided to see what this article said. Then I went to wikipedia and read about GPGPU. Honestly, I wasnt aware how much different a GPGPU is from a regular GPU. Even its programming language is different (OpenCL). No wonder the ports did not transition well to the Wii U. I think I see that Wii U is not as much underpowered as we thought it to be. We will probably see its power in some AAA first party exclusive. Third party developers will have to change their programming ways a lot if they want to use the Wii U to its full extent. I still beleive that teh next PS360 will be more powerful but now I also know that Wii U is not as pathetic as I thought it to be. Sadly, I am not interested in Marios and Zelda so I wont be getting it. Gave up Marios after the NES. Still it is good for the Wii U owners and Nintendo fans that they can look forward to great looking game when the developers finally get the hang of GPGPU.
The mere limit of a product does not increase demand. The supply/demand interaction only affects prices. A shortage of consoles does not increase the price for Nintendo. They have no reason to purposely shortfall supply as there being less of them does no increase the price, so they are therefore hurting themselves by not having adequate supply. I'm just saying as it makes no sense for them purposely have a shortage. Oil companies claim peak oil because it allows them to raise prices. Antiques are expensive because there is not a large supply of a given item and it's rarity increases the value. There is no value increase for Nintendo to have less than an adequate supply.
