The Wii U has a release date. Nintendo's console will be released on November 18. It will come in two versions, a Basic and Deluxe set. The Deluxe set will cost you $349 and the basic version will run $299.
As we learned during Nintendo's Japanese press event last night, the Wii U will have 2GB of memory, 1GB for games and 1 GB for system memory. Its discs will have a 25GB capacity and are not Blu-Ray. It will be backwards compatible with the Wii. Additionally, the console will support all Wii accessories straight out of the box.
The Premium bundle will come with a console, a controller, an HDMI cable, power cradles for your Wii U pad, a 32 GB HDD, and a subscription to Nintendo Network Premium which offers 10% discounts on downloadable software, while the Basic bundle will come with just the console, a controller, and an 8GB HDD.
“The wait is almost over — in just 66 days, Wii U will arrive with the strongest lineup of launch software in Nintendo history,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime in a statement. “With the integrated second screen of the included GamePad and features that instantly enhance the way people play games, watch video and interact with each other, consumers will see how Wii U delivers a completely unique experience.

Yh once sony and microsoft release their consoles the hardcore gamers will vanish from wii u. But honestly nintendo is more about games that are exclusive to them than fps and stuff like that

If you own Xbox360 or PS3 it's not. However, if a lot of exclusives come out for WiiU which you like. I would advise you to wait until a price drop. Ninteno Wii, wasn't intended for superb graphics BTW.

i'm gonna buy it and i own ps3 and xbox. without a doubt its a first day buy for me looks fun as hell but i'm also a nintendo fanboy and would follow them blindly
