Whats your take on the Wii U..is it really "next gen?"

Had no interest in the Wii U until it came into work..

Stock came in today, decided it was alright.
Noticed we have a spare Zombie U edition, suppose I could get it.
Played Nintendo Land, this is actually pretty good, think I want one.
Oh I can buy it right now, GIVE IT TO ME.

In the end, decided to wait and chance whether we get any surplus White Wii U in, as I only need the basic package, but just playing it definitely made me want to get one.

The 8gb in the white isn't enough IMO. You only get 7.9gb and 4.2gb is OS plus patches.

Saw some of the game prices in GAME today and they were royally taking the piss. ?60 each for Zombie U and Call of Duty Black Ops II. Fifty quid for a gamepad and ?45 for a Wii U branded controller - no different to the Wii version.

I know it's coming up to Christmas and all but them prices will kill the bloody thing stone dead by spring.

Even HMV were cheaper . . .

Even amazon want over forty quid for stuff like BO2, AC3, Mario, ZombieU and even ?39.99 for ME3. So you pay more to get games later than if you'd get them in PS3 and Xbox.
