Well it's official, I am not buying the WiiU.
Thus far I don't like anything about it. I was really hoping Nintendo would change at least the name or the controller, but nope, they kept them.
The last nail I have with NINTENDO is the price of the Wii U.
I'm sick of their region lock. The Wii U to me is just a bloated PS3 with a horrible looking touch controller, except with highly possible region lock (come on, to the extent of IP LOCKOUT?) and a possible $300 price point.
I'm done with Nintendo if they decide to charge $300> for the Wii U.

I won't mind paying $299 for the Wii U, I meant more than that.
Technology is definitely more advanced now compared to 5 years ago. The Wii can never be worth $249, wait... $200 even, including advertising.
$299 for the Wii U is, IMO, the worst they can go. Not that they want to make the same mistake with the 3DS.
I'm against them due to region lock. I just find it awfully silly. They even implemented lockouts for certain online titles when they want to enhance the online experience.
Exactly, people here are so ridiculous, saying that it's a doomed console, it won't live up to expectations etc...
While in fact we know next to nothing about the system, the hardware, online, features and more importantly the game library.
Hell, even the controller is just a rumor, for all we know that leaked image could be a controller for developer feedback or simply from an old devkit revision.
You can't labor something as terrible when you don't know how it's going to turn out.
Everything we know is based on rumors, developer comments and Nintendo's rushed E3 2011 conference.
Last week for example Gearbox said that the "Wii U is a powerful, powerful machine", yet people still like to think that it won't be a worthy future competitor for some reason. Of course devs can't speak of specifics yet and of course the devkits are still being tweaked until the last moment as usual.
There is no point in judging it because as of now we only have ports and a confirmed Pikmin game, stuff we got to know last year. What the Wii U will bring us this time remains a mystery until the final reveal of the system.

How is $300 the worst they can go? Especially at launch? For a handheld, maybe, but for a console? Sounds absolutely wonderful to me.
And it's not like Sony and Microsoft don't have region locks, by that logic you shouldn't like any console then.
Anyways, I don't really care about the name of a console, as long as it has good games and it doesn't cost me hundreds and hundreds of dollars I'm cool with it. Why a name should turn away anyone is ridiculous.
"I met this really hot chick who's absolutely perfect for me in every way but I decided to hate her cuz he name is Ester".
I dont mind the name.... it's not awesome, but hey.... who the fuck cares? it's just a name
the only thing that could anoy me if they start to name all the games "Name U" (MetroidU, MarioU, F-ZeroU, Star FoxU)
that would be stupid
This is a true gamers response
who cares about what the logo looks like or what the name is it will be the games that show what the wiiu is capable of that's what i've keeping my excitement for not this shit.
Seriously, skipping a console just because of the logo of the device is just pure idiotic.
It's not like the gaming experience is gonna suck just because of the logo on the console, and if you are looking at the logo when you are playing then you are doing it wrong.
And the exact same thing can be said about the name.

Nobody said they were skipping the console because of the name. The reason why the name is getting so much flak is because the confusion that happened with the 3DS at launch.
People thought that the 3DS was just another DS that had 3D as its only new feature, so it's quite possible that people will think that the Wii U is just a new controller for the Wii based on what has been shown. The public can be really stupid about these things.
It does make a sense because look at PSX became Ps2 then PS3. Wii is now going to the next generation and it is Wii U. I am glad that they are stick to that logo for the final. Now, I am wait and watch for 3rd party developing for the Wii U before I buy it because I made a mistake for Wii. Not that Wii was bad but I am into HD than Wii version.
