A no-frills Xbox One will set you back £350 at the moment and a PlayStation 4 more like £400. There are less games to play on either and I’m pretty bored of hearing about how bad the new release schedule is looking. So why not give the Wii U a go? The bigger question is what’s stopping you?

I think I can answer this for the point of view of a normal consumer. You can't play AC Unity, No COD, No Destiny. For them investing in a Wii U makes no sense. You can't play some of the biggest titles. Now if you like Nintendo software then maybe the Wii U is for you but it is a big compromise especially getting the Wii U first. Then you have to think how often Nintendo are releasing their own software. They can only do so much (these two factors stop the general consumer jumping on it)
Also side note but if you "shop around" for the PS4 you can go sub 300. The Destiny bundle is 349 and a "no thrills" box is £339 . £400 is way off
The witcher 3, mass effect 4, uncharted 4, quantum break, destiny, GTA v, cod to name a few.
But you should own a Wii u for its game library... they're still awesome!
PC and Wii U are all you need now. The best games on the other console are even better on the PC, so I see no reason to own one of the other console's yet.
Bayonetta 2, Devil's Third and Xenoblade Cross, though. That's the type of stuff one should get a console for. That and the gamepad. Praise be to the gamepad.
yes the Wii U is a better console than PS4 and XBONE now.... but that's only cuz its been out longer...... by December 2015 you'll look at the 3 consoles libraries and the Wii U will clearly be the weakest.....
I personally don't own either of the 3, the XBONE and PS4 have no games that interest me... Why don't I buy a Wii U? well because I have a PS3, a 3DS and Vita all who are still getting great games... no need to rush buy a next gen console before the games for them are out
If you primarily game on PC, the Wii U is the only console even remotely worth owning at the moment.
