I'm going to trade my Wii U for a PS4 and then trade my PS4 back for a Wii U once Zelda comes out!
(Crazy thing is, I know some people who'd do something like that!)
For me, I'd love to have both as a combo, like the PSWii or Wii60. I still think Nintendo's 1st party games are the best.

Absolutely not.
I still don't know the price of the PS4, neither its launch lineup. Plus, it's not backward compatible. So, I'm not sure to buy it this year 2013. Probably I'll buy it later in the 2014, once finished all my back catalog of PS3 games, so I'll trade in the PS3 to buy the PS4.
Wii U is still in its early start of lifecycle and will offer for sure a lot of interesting exclusive that put aside the vast library PS4 will probably have, will offer a complete gaming experience for this gen.

It's practically a meme at this point.
Short of it dying I won't be getting rid of my Wii U, ever. Anyone who didn't buy a Wii U with the primary purpose of playing the exclusive games, particularly Nintendo first party, has no idea wtf they are doing with their money. I'm as confident as ever that the Wii U will have some killer games and anyone who eskews it it wholly in favor of the PS4 will be missing out.
I will still be first in line at my local gamestop to order a PS4, just as I did with the Wii U. Believe.

Oh boy, its like I can't want a Sony or Microsoft system. Its like I can't like Sony's or Microsoft's Exclusives. Why is it so wrong for me not wanting their consoles or ever planning on picking them up? Jesus fucking christ.
Haha, man you sure did show me. Thanks, I'll continue being a financial analyst.

No.
I've owned all mainstream consoles dating back to the PS2 era. Don't know how much I'll end up having to fork out by the end of the fall, but I probably won't even open them until a solid lineup of games begin to emerge. Although I did play Gears of War when it came out in 2006, I didn't completely transition off of the previous PS2 era until late 2007, when games like Assassin's Creed, Burnout
aradise and Bioshock hit shelves. There are still alot of AAA games coming out this fall for the PS3 -- moreso than I recall the PS2 having by the time PS3 was released. I recall that Final Fantasy XII and God of War 2 being the only games on my radar by the end of 2006.

But Songs event straight up humiliated Nintendo in my opinion. The Wii U's online initiative doesn't even scratch the initiative of what the other next gen consoles will have and the Wii U hardware itself seems way overpriced in comparison to what Sony and I guess Microsoft will have in their platforms to sustain them for another half decade or more.

Not at all. I sold my wii last gen on impluse and ended up buying another for last story, xenoblade, donkey kong, etc,. Won't be making that mistake again.

Oh.
Well, if I can only have one gaming platform, I'll go with the PC. Fuck Sony and Nintendo.

Nah. I didn't buy a Wii u to play multiplat games on it. I bought it strictly for Nintendo games knowing damn well the ps4 will obliterate it in terms of capabilities.
I was thinking about selling my Wii u, but I spent so damn much on it that I can't do it. I'm just going to wait it out and roll with the Wii u + ps4 combo for years to come.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.

Do you honestly believe that X is technically even in the same league as the Killzone shown last night?
I mean, it looks like it could be a cool game. There is absolutely nothing impressive about it graphically though.
I really don't think there's a fight going on between Wii U and PS4. Nor do I think anyone in their right mind would want to sell their Wii U for a PS4. If you're doing that, what the hell were you thinking when you bought it in the first place?

:lol No.
In a perfect world, everything would be on PC. As it stands though, Wii U wins out of the consoles because Nintendo have the best first party. It will make a nice companion to the PC.

I don't understand. If anything, the PS4 was the least impressive generational leap in the entire history of consoles. This is more or less what we expected, but I honestly can't imagine anyone expecting less than this.
Not to say the console is not solid and has a lot of neat ideas (always-on stream recording, GAIKAI, Vita offscreen play), but if anything, the Wii U is looking much less weak to me now. Which is good, as the Wii U has a lot of games in its future that I want, and I'll eventually have to get one.
For now, I can live without either of them for many years. Looking forward to reduce the immense backlog.
Killzone looks like something I've played a hundred times before.
X looks like something I've never played before.
Guess which one I'm buying.
You think that's CGI?

Gamestop is giving $120 + $50 for a 32GB Wii U. I'll go $220 shipped as long as everything is like new. Hit me up with a PM.
(I'll also give $100 shipped for a Vita, Gamestop gives $55).
Call me Good Guy Greg.

I will not be trading my Wii U in for the PS4. I will be buying a PS4 day one but the ~$70 I would get in the trade in is not worth it. I have no clue whether I will keep the Wii U but that has everything to do with a lack of software that really interests me. For now it is fun on occasion.

Decided to cut my losses and sell mine. Nintendo has always been a lemon in NZ and it's double-fucked now. I can't be assed importing and jumping through hoops just to play the trinity.
I raise you the new Killzone gif!
I'll play anything other than the boring gameplay of Killzone. X looks a million times more interesting.

Why on earth would i do such a thing? Cause the PS4 is more powerful? I don't give a crap if it is. Two things that will never ever get to do this.
1) Can't play Nintendo first party games on PS4
2) Nintendo's 3rd party support will have games that the PS4 will never get.

because tLoU looks like it marries story, interaction with characters, a world, and an artstyle/aesthetic together incredibly well?
Why do people believe that Nintendo games being in HD make them inherently better? (Hint, this last question was stupid).
Look at the Dolphin thread and the complaining during the last 5+ years

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
My Wii U is going to be sitting right next to my PS4.
