Want.Why? It's a waste of a console. What can it do that my PC, or for that matter any other console can't? Besides play stupid Mario games. Which btw really needs to fucking die. Talk about over milking a franchise. Seriously Nintendo go fuck your self. I have played enough Mario to last several life times.

Hater :D I like Mario games.
If you're planning on buying one.Xbox has 512 mb of ram So I think you are fine.
You might consider buying the premium one.
What I've heard is that the idle (no game running) has 3 GB RAM left for games
And that the basic has less RAM than the premium one.
Might not be true. Or I've explained it wrongly.

Storage
Internal flash memory: 8GB(7.2GB usable) - $299 for Basic Set, 32GB(29GB usable) - $349 Deluxe Set.
Expandable memory via external USB hard drive and SDHC memory cards
CPU
IBM Power®-based multi-core microprocessor
IBM has revealed it to be a 45nm chip, with embedded DRAM. Additionally, the CPU is based on the same chip that is used in the Watson supercomputer, implying it is a Power7 model. (Source: Kotaku)
Previously rumored to be roughly 50% more powerful than PS3. (Source: IGN) Recent reports of actual hardware however suggest it to be much greater, putting it around 20% less powerful than the next gen Xbox (which is rumored to be at least 6 times more powerful than current gen consoles). Again, all rumors however, so please don't get too obsessed with power.
RAM
The Wii U has 2GB of RAM. 1GB of RAM is allocated to system functions. Examples of system functions include TVii and Mii-verse. The other 1GB is allocated for games.

I like the way it works but I won't buy it, i'm not a big fan of zelda and stuff but I do like Mario games. But now I stopped playing on nintendo consoles. Back then I used to play with an Atari playin mario bros, then a nintendo 64 finally a gamecube gamecube. But I never bought the wii, since it's all the same just movement recognition included and new menus. It would be cooler if they integrated this system to Pc or other consoles tough.

What? Mario for Atari? Gamecube Gamecube? The Wii's the same as Gamecube Gamecube with movement recognition and new menus?

Pillz read it again, it's not what I meant, I said the gamecube looks like the wii, only difference is there is a bit more specs and there are movement sensors build in. And yes Atari had mario...
There are no games for it that I really give a crap about, and I gave Nintendo a chance with the Wii and they failed. Yes their Zelda, Smash Bros, Metroid Prime, Mario Galaxy etc were awesome, but aside from De Blob there were no 3rd party games worth a damn on it. The only thing they can do to get me to buy a WiiU would be if they came out with a Metroid better than the Metroid prime series (possible, but unlikely after the abortion that was Other M) and a Zelda better than Skyward Sword (nooooo way this game was the Ocarina of Time of the modern generation of games)
Mad World was really really easy and boring when I played a friends copy, I don't like the Monster Hunter series, Okami existed on the PS2 so I wasn't gonna buy it again, it was just a port.
House of the Dead was good I forgot about that one.
Also Corey maybe you had a fail controller for Skyward Sword? Cause it worked perfect for me and I was sitting on my couch most of the time. I used the wii motion plus controller that came with the game and it played better than anything I'd ever played on the wii.

The controller was motion plus, I just hate motion controls when it doesn't do what I want it to do.
I'll have to agree with Corey; but I still managed to enjoy some of Skyward Sword. Deku Babas and Skullutas made me rage quite a bit and I felt like the extensive collection puzzles using the dopplegangerthinger was retarded but ehh. It still looked pretty and entertained me for a bit.
Also, Chris; there AREN'T any games yet. The WiiU shelf in Gamestop is 8 game cases wide and has 6 shelves, lol.
Games I want so far for WiiU:
Super Mario Bros. WiiU
ZombiU
Black Ops 2
Super Smash Bros WiiU (When it comes out)
Pikman3(When it comes out)
Legend of Zelda (When it comes out)
WiiU Warioware game (When it comes out)
Then whatever else comes out that I decide I MUST buy. I never played Assassains Creed or Arkham City so I might buy those for the WiiU for giggles and shit. Really though 3-4 games would be enough money spent IMO; the family will probably end up buying all sorts of stupid minigame-games for it so eh.
After ZombiU and Mario we'd be out 120$ so we might just call it a day at that. :l Fucking over priced games.
Bayonetta on Nintendo? -brain explodes- No sense, no sense is made!
