So, I'm considering getting a Switch or Wii U. Right now, adding up the total cost it looks like $540 is my total initial investment for Switch (two pro controllers, Zelda, console, and next month MK8) versus $380 for Wii U (assuming $40 for two pro controllers, zelda, and a used MK8). A total difference of $160. I'm in full "don't care" mode now. Looking through the Wii U lineup, I see like 4 games worth buying that we'd play. Right now, I'm trying to find a $200 Wii U. Maybe I get MK8 on it too which cuts the cost down some. It looks like used Wii U's are going for $250. I might as well buy a Switch at that point.
My upshot? I'm haranguing over $160. I've spent more on an anniversary dinner or night out. And fuck you Nintendo. Just go third party already. I'd totally buy a PS4 today with Horizon and Zelda on it. I wouldn't even hesitate.
