So Nintendo's it's not a tablet dammit it's a console will be out in November. While I was initially doubtful of it passing the Gamecube mark the higher-priced bundle is apparently being pre-ordered like crazy. Somewhere the Vita is crying.

So maybe a blight of holiday-season resellers is once again about to descend upon all of us. Yay.

Getting one? Waiting for it to fail?

Thoughts?

I am planning on waiting until a must play game is released. Have both a PS3 and a 360 for the same reason. Imo consoles are cheap enough to buy them for just couple of games.

Apart from some retail-unique bundles it is basically sold out at every major US retailer.

Going to be a bumper crop of resellers this year.

I am hoing for some good commercials.
