I'm going forward with a plan to save my poor gaming budget from necessary expenses by completely ignoring the Wii U for the time being.
I have a few privacy concerns over it's pseudo-social media ideas, and I don't want to have to invest in a new console anyway, which is definitely my biggest reason for passing on it.
On a side note, I'm not overly thrilled at the aforementioned launch titles; it's a fine example of a console manufacturer taking absolutely no risks in a potential new killer app off the bat, and sticking almost entirely to what's safe, familiar, and well worn with overuse. They won't SINK with that lineup, but they probably won't soar with it either. Anything is possible, but statistics and history are not on Nintendo's side with that lineup.
