At first glance to me, just as a consumer, the new Xbox looked amazing, then I did some reading. The Xbox One has got some major flaws and has gotten bagged enough. So by the time e3 rolled around I wasn't biased. I watched Microsoft's entire conference and was pretty amused, there was some pretty cool stuff. Then I watched the Nintendo Direct... Holy crap my mind was blown! I literally said, "Nintendo I am sorry, I will buy a Wii U now.
Reasoning:
1. No DRM
2. Backwards compatible
3. Can play used games fine
4. Great Community
5. Cheap, probably will get a price drop soon
6. Great new lineups of games for 2013-2014
7. Don't have to pay to play online
I mean, come on is anyone else noticing this thing?

I stopped caring about Nintendo years ago. I always picture them in their own separate world, isolated from the rest of the gaming world.
