Just wait until you have small kids and see how eager you are to buy either a Playstation or Xbox. While there are some Kinect games that are age appropriate, if you're a parent like many of us, Nintendo is the best choice for kids under 12. So, yes, I think many people are going to buy this, just maybe not many hard core gamers or CAGs.

The GS I went to said they were only doing preorders for 2 days starting today. They don't expect many units come launch time.

Might just take advantage of that ps3 trade-in. I got a good $150 of value over the last 3 years. I really want to play Pikmin 3 and this looks like the only way since I am around $200 short. The more I think about it the more tempting it is.

The black Wii U is on bestbuy.com now. Not sure if anyone posted that yet.

Sure exclusive until Simga 2 came on PS3.

They never called that a "only on xbox" exclusive, Bayonetta 2 is being PUBLISHED by Nintendo! It won't get ported. Why do you think the orignal goldeneye has not (and never will) go to xbox live arcade, psn, or virtual console? Because Nintendo PUBLISHED it while RARE created it. Even though RARE is owned by microsoft now, Nintendo still holds publishing rights to goldeneye and it is not letting go of them. Nintendo can't put it on VC because they don't own RARE anymore. Its lost to laws and lawyers for a while, maybe forever.

Point is: If Nintendo publishes something, you can be DAMN sure its not going to another platform!

Why wait until next year to give Apple more of your money? Get your official iPhone 5 30-pin adapter for only $29.99 next week.

I have a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old. My older one loves Kung Fu Panda and Kinect Ninja on XBOX and has never had any interest in anything Wii. If anything, a prettier picture with more vivid colors will appeal to younger kids more. Not saying the Wii U won't look pretty "enough" right now, but there are 10 reasons why kids will want the PS4/720 to every 1 reason they'll want a Wii U imo.

Am I the only person more excited for OUYA in early 2013 than this?

Dont know if someone already posted, but Bayonetta 2 will be a wii u exclusive. To me thats some bullshit, but its a smart move on nintendo. Hopefully the game does a re4 and eventually comes to other consoles.

Just saw this trailer for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on the Wii U.

Do they actually charge right away or just put the amount on hold? There is a difference. Plus for those of us with AmEx that synced our cards and tweeted whatever it was you get $20 back. For me pays for the tax so comes out to what I would pay at Amazon anyways.

Ugh I know too many of those people too. No use talking to them. As long as their stuff has an Apple logo, ignorance is bliss. Those people definitely won't buy Wii U because they also think consoles are obsolete because they say all of gaming is shifting over to iphones and ipads anyway?

Dunno, I didn't hit submit order. The final page didn't say anything about holds or no charges yet. I'll just wait out Amazon's page.

I like that you can do release day in store pickup with BB. Paying in full now, not so much.

From what I've read, Bayonetta 2 was effectively canceled by Sega before Nintendo stepped in. So like others have said in this thread, I doubt this will be the same with regards to merely a timed exclusivity period.

Who knows though? Personally, I can't remember the last time a Nintendo-published game ended up on the other consoles.

Just pre-ordered a deluxe set for in-store pickup on Sunday the 18th.
