What's people's personal experience with it and its games line-up? Would a 3DS or PS Vita be better instead?

Would a 3ds or ps vita be better instead ? absolutely not. the wii u is very interesting, I haven't played many games on it but the nicest thing about it is the HD. it's the first time nintendo goes hd and I think their games on it look absolutely fantastic anyway, it's a pretty nice console but the games on it are a bit lacking right now. mostly because they are just ports with usually useless stuff on the controller screen. But once they start to make exclusives and take full advantage of the controller screen, it's gonna be awesome. a mario party on this will be awesome

I do not own either a vita, 3ds or wiiu but if I had to personally pick one I'd choose the 3ds. 3DS- Nintendo will be pumping out anything Zelda/Mario/Pokemon related, and probably a billion more remakes of said franchises. So if you like the Nintendo lineup, then go for it. Vita- Only know 1 person with the vita, and they are kinda happy with it. I've only seen the Uncharted game and it just doesn't look like enough titles to warrant a buy for me. WiiU- Same as the wii but with HD!

I think my problem with the Wii U (and most consoles which have only been released recently) is that there aren't enough games to justify purchasing one just yet. I buy consoles based on the games sold on them, not the console itself. So if you think there are a lot of games on the system right now that you would want, then it probably would be worth it.
