The Nintendo Wii was a great console, but I don't see a reason to get it anymore. The Wii U is better in almost every aspect, has a decent library of games and a promising future, much better graphics, backwards compatibility, and a eShop filled with games to play. Unless you want to just play Wii games for an inexpensive price (You can get the Wii for under a 100 dollars), there's no reason not to go for a Wii U.
