Anyone who says the Wii U is expensive, STOP. They are selling it for less than it takes to make it.

They are? How do you know?

They lost over 700 000 dollars in the last 9 months because of XBox and mainly: iPods and free online games. If you want Ninendo to exist next year, I would buy it.

$700,000 doesn't seem like very much when you're talking about Nintendo.

You just watch, they will probably go out of business in a few years. Just Google it! It says they actually lost 1.3 billion in 6 months because of iPods.

Those statistics logically aren't close to accurate.

First off, don't trust everything you read on the internet. Secondly, there's no way to show that they lost all that money because of iPods alone, you can't prove that. Thirdly, they have about 812.8 billion yen (roughly 10 billion American dollars), so 1.3 billion is a bit of a dramatic loss due to iPods, which the general populace, including iPod owners, don't consider a legitimate gaming device. Thirdly, an estimated 33% of Nintendo console owners buy Nintendo gaming devices for first party games. Something you will never see in anything by Sony or Microsoft (unless Nintendo gets as desperate as Sega, who hasn't even chosen a company to work for yet).

Sooo, yeah.

Now the ads are kicking in...

OK sorry about that. That was before the 3DS sales went up. Anyway, anyone have one yet? I'm getting one in a few days.

Why can't we switch the dates of Thanksgiving and Christmas? I really want to make my breakfast monster!

I always thought that Christmas should move around the calendar, opposite of the way time goes, per say, two months.

Then instead of waiting an entire year, twelve months, for Christmas, we would only have to wait ten months.

So if this year it's on December 25th, it would be on October 25th in 2013, and August 25th in 2014, and so on.

After all, we don't really know when Jesus was born because they didn't use the Gregorian Calendar.

I really wouldn't want to have Christmas in the Summer. [/offtopic]

Fixed.

I am a kid and I would much rather have a Wii U.

I'm not getting it for a while

because the way i see it, it's not about having the most current console or the one everyone else has or is buying
it's about getting the games you can have fun with
and i already have lots of those and consoles that you can get lots of those for currently
thus i'm not getting a new console for a couple years
unless it's an NES, because yeah
they're cheap and i'm on a budget

The only reason I want to get it is for scribblenauts. I wouldn't get it if they had multiplayer and an object creator on the 3DS version.

Honestly, I use my GameCube more than any other console I have. And I have every Nintendo console excluding the Wii U and SNES, and I have an Xbox 360.

I can't wait until the new Zelda game is out, but unfortunately that's not planned on coming out until 2014!

Sidekick mode?
