@Xdelusion. I'm a Ninty fan myself, but I've stopped at the Wii that I''ve soft modded so I can play off hard drive and play homebrew. The Gamecube is my fave console though, some fantastic games come out on it and all are playable with Wii. With component cables and on my 42 inch plasma things look great enough, even though its all SD.
Well said.
The Wii U is just another step in the current evolution: Gamecube>Wii>Wii U.
And the Wii U cannot be hacked to use its full capabilities, so why not stick with the Wii.
Frankly, I wish the PS3 or XBOX360 were more hackable as I find them more attractive than their replacements.
