If you were thinking about preordering a Wii U you better do it quickly.  The deluxe set is already sold out at Game Stop and Best Buy online and they are saying the 8g set is not far behind.  I managed to get one (32g one) through Toys R Us, but you have to pay for it when you order it.

There are already people listing them on Ebay for like $900 Shocked

What moron would pay $900 when the system is still out there to be pre-ordered. Even if it was sold out everywhere, just wait. Jesus Christ.

Well, I guess they've done it before.  Didn't the same thing happen for the Wii and other consoles?  And stuff like cabbage patch kids, Elmo dolls and whatnot?  You'd be surprised what some of these people might be willing to pay.

Supply and demand I guess.

6 years ago people did this exact thing with the Wii. The demand makes people go onto ebay and pay that much for the console. Don't think this is new because this has happened before.

Also, preorders are being stopped everywhere including Target, Sears, K-Mart, Walmart and other places.

My brother got his preorder at Toys R US on his lunch break at Toys R US about an hour before they stopped taking them. He got the 2nd to last deluxe preorder and rang up the last deluxe preorder. Lightning strikes the same place twice since when we preordered the Wii we also got the 2nd to last preorder.

What will the new nintendo have that my ps3 doesn't already? (excluding nintendo games of course).

Seriously, what is the main selling point this time? Should I even get one? My Wii recently quit reading discs so I am considering getting the new one later on, but I can't really come up with a good reason to.

There isn't one. Not until a new Pokemon/SSB/Zelda game comes out, at least. Even then, they're a generation behind, I've pretty much lost faith in them.

Well, personally I've only got the Wii.  I have always preferred the "point and shoot" aspect of the Wii.  I was tempted to get a ps3 when the move came out, but didn't hear good things about it.  I held off getting a new system until this one came out, so for someone like me it's definitely worth it.  If you already have a ps360 then it probably wouldn't really be a step up, but you never know. 

Some of the things I've read about the Wii U sound pretty cool.  The universal remote function, the way you can surf things, etc. and Black Ops 2 sounds like it's gonna be pretty damn good on it.  Plus the fact that I can still play my older Wii games on it.  I just pray that they address the hacking issues with this one.  That in itself will make it worth it for me.
The Wii U TVii thing looks pretty cool too.  I read today that it will work with any service provider.  In the videos it looks like it only works with Tivo so that's good.

The White Wii U isn't actually that bad. Just buy a 64 gb memory card with the $50 bucks you save from the Black one and there ya go. No Wii U stand, gamepad cradle, or Nintendo Land though. Oh and no digital promotion either. White Wii U is for people who don't care about all those things they'll miss out on. They can purchase a Wii U stand and gamepad cradle in the future and Nintendo Land will obviously be sold seperately if they really want it later down the road.
