my Wii U is a supplemental console. it doesn't have many games right now but it fills its role. i bought it to play Nintendo exclusive titles. why the hell would i even care that it lacks Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Madden, or any of these games yall mock the console for not having on it? i got other consoles to play those on.
i don't think anybody that is a gamer and owns a Wii U even cares that it lacks those games. its mostly people that don't own one that talk about stuff like this. probably the same people that only own one console and buy just the one to play as many games as possible on it so they need a single console to cover all bases. since the PS1 days in every generation i've owned every console while their generation was going on and it shall continue.
