They will be very disappointed. They should have waited til August, because until then, there are no games on the Wii U yet. I've had mine since January, and it's just been collecting dust. The most my Wii U gets used is to change the input on my TV, because my remote is lost, and I'm not changing the input to Wii U lol. My Xbox 360 and PS3 have been used way more in the past week than my Wii U has been used in the past 6 months.

Hopefull all that will change starting in August with Pikmin 3, and continue on afterwards with Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends, Wind Waker HD, DKC, and Super Mario 3d World and hopefully others too.

I feel like it's a good time to come back to Nintendo. And there is Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It has rejuvenated my interest in Nintendo and from what I saw in that line in Best Buy, it was a common thread. I think AC:NL may be giving the Wii U a boost.

If Nintendo were to announce a brand new Animal Crossing game for Wii U to release in the holiday season and it was as good or better than New Leaf, then the Wii U will start selling like ice creams on a hot summers day

just a simple question: bottom line, to you, is the wii U worth 350$?

I've been thinking. Should Nintendo try and pursue a partnership of sorts with Disney?

No
I'd rather have my star wars multiplatform thank you.
