I'd agree with you if a vast majority of the recent games weren't excellent. Galaxy 2 is THE best platformer I've ever played. The Mario and Luigi RPG series is consistently brilliant. Mario Kart is just... well, Mario Kart - nigh on multiplayer racing perfection (fuck you, Blue Shell). So, if Mario WiiU is anywhere near the quality of his Wii outings then... bring it on.

I like some of the bonuses that come with the Collectors edition, but the hat I would never wear because it's not my style, and I don't need a locking bag with a key. If I'm going to pay $150 for something, it better come with something I can display or something I can spend a few hours sifting through and reading. Essentially, it'd need to be more like Halo 3/Reach Legendary Editions.
The special edition I might swing for.

Right, heres the thing. I don't have a laptop or PC at the minute, but I'm seriously interested in LoL(lol), so is there any way of getting this game on iPad? If not, I'm screwed 'till I get a new laptop. :(.
I always miss out on the fun.

So, all the money I've invested into downloads from YOUR service and all the games I bought for YOUR console are effectively deemed backwards? Wonderful....

Okay, so where exactly has he got this magic 5% figure from? They've only done two consoles before and 360 launched only offering backwards compatibility for Halo 2. I play old games all the time and I'm 99% sure that Microsoft will start releasing "Xbox Classics" on Xbox Live within a few months of launch. The Batman Arkham games in particular I'll be definitely playing several years from now. And what about GTA5 or Arkham Origins? How many gamers won't want two Xbox consoles in front of the TV, so will stick with the 360 to play the games they really want?
Then there's the "upgrade" angle, which is important to me. If I can sell my 360 and replace it with an XBONE I'll gladly pick it up straight away, because I can still use it like a 360. If not, well, I won't buy it until a certain amount of exclusive must-have games build up, which will be probably Xmas 2014 at best. I bought a Wii on day one because it could play GameCube games.
Short answer for you Mr Mattrick - if you had full backwards compatibility with 360 I'd buy it despite all the negatives because it'd replace my 360 completely. Now because it doesn't I will have a straight choice between PS4 and XBONE, and at the moment the PS4 is massively ahead of the game.

So I'm backwards now, huh? I guess my money must be backwards, too. It's going back into my wallet!
