>"over 10 million units sold!"

wew fuckin lad. So putting aside for right now how ninty is on death's doorstep, can we talk about the wonderful investment opportunity the WiiU presents in the near term? We're talking almost triple digits for any factory sealed WiiU consoles still in circulation 5-10 years out.

The market fundamentals for this system to be a collector's item are all there. Just look at factory-sealed dreamcast consoles on ebay (the dreamcase sold 9 million, same ballpark as WiiU). You can expect any non-crap blue label first party titles similarly to appreciate in value. Heck, some editions of Pikmin 3 and WWHD are already going well above retail value in the collectors' market. And with ninty being as autistic a company as it is, they never increase production runs in order to reclaim some of the profit which is flowing to the secondary market and scalpers.

Anyone with some money lying around should invest in a WiiU, if not right now then after the inevitable post-NX ~100$ price chop.

But they're not rare at all
Also anyone who wants them already has one by now, and there aren't any big titles coming in the future.

When Zelda U turns out to be a Nintendo store exclusive in Japan, I'm buying a dozen copies.

Which if Twilight Princess is any indication means the WiiU version will be less tainted by the newer gimmicks and widely regarded as the better version of the game.

>>331280720
Like Skyward Sword was a WiiU multiplat?

>>331281143
Until the Wii U emulator gets released, which will probably be sometime next year.

Kirby and StarFox are big titles to me, so fuck you.

No, like TP you huge retard
SS was also the worst 3D zelda by far

What kind of a fallback insult is that?

>>331281195
hope you got a 4k monitor for the 1080p TV and gamepad.

>>331281256
Yet you probably one of the same morons saying SS would be on the newest Nintendo console like you're saying this next one will be on the NX
It fucking happened once let it go

You are clearly a wonderful businessman. I wish you luck in your endeavors. Hopefully you will get that money back you lost in Amiibo scalping soon!

>>331280459
People who buy video games with plans to sell them for double/ triple the price in 5 to 10 years are literally retarded. 100 bucks for sitting on something for 10 years, truly a wise investment.

>>331281674
Dude, you obviously do not know anything about game hardware collecting.

>he doesn't buy a shitty plastic console that no one wants for the purpose of shoving it into his closet for 20 years so that he can reap his 50 dollar profit

Look at this pleb, that's almost one brand new game. Think of all the fun new games they'll have it the year 2036, you could almost buy one of them.
>>
Buying to resell is painfully retarded, because you have to sit on it for a trillion years just to make 40 dollars profit at best.

That being said, I'm sure the prices of Wii U games will skyrocket once they're no longer on store shelves, so if anyone were wanting to actually play those games, waiting might not be a good idea.

Yeah, that $80 special edition Fire Emblem I bought isn't already going for over $100 more, nope, got to sit on it for 5 to 10 years before making a profit on it.
