Reason #8 that consoles suck: if a part like a GPU dies, you're SOL. When a GPU dies in your PC, you only need to replace that part. ~"It gave me a reason to upgrade my gfx card anyway"~
Well this PS is about 3 years old lol Your Wii U should be fine for at least 3 to 5 years. Of course things don't last like they used to. My N64 still works perfectly and that thing is about 16 years old.
