I received a Wii U less than a year ago and I like it. I love/hate the gamepad though. I don't like how it has to constantly be on wasting battery when you don't need it and is sometimes the default control option for first player in local multiplayer sessions. However, the graphics on it are amazing and it's easy to play with for the most part. The community is overall pretty nice. Winde Waker HD made it really enjoyable to communicate with people by sending tingle bottles to everyone. With Super Smash Bros. U coming out I'll probably be glued to it for awhile. I have so many consoles though so the time I spend on it differs since I like to alternate between them.
