My friend said he intends to get it to play fifa, as he can play it in the office, and then bring home and dock it, so that he can play on big screen. If that floats his boat, then good for him. To me, it is all about the games. I bought the wii u and although the games are limited, I at least have a bit north of 10 games which I really like, and regularly play, with a couple still sealed.

At the present moment, and from the games in the pipeline, nothing excites me and screams DAY one or even Year one for me loh.
After my experience with QS for the PS4 (and I accompanied said friend above to collect his New 3DS XL from QS), I rather buy from gwerks or WGS for future consoles. The long queue and inconsistent support... I just say, can buy games/preowns from QS, but not big launch titles or consoles just to save a few bucks.
