Meh. I bought a SNES from a carboot and Zelda: A Link to the Past, Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana and a ton of other stuff for £40 and am reliving one of the golden generations of gaming again. So using your logic, I don't know why you'd spend £160 on a Wii U TBH when you could have got all this instead.
BTW the GTX 1080 is tempting at this price.

how about those who spend £600 on a phone. you are right that zelda and Wii u is worth it but some people want bleeding edge 144 Hz 1440p graphics plus games a way cheaper

Wow I just bought a 2nd hand Wii U and Zelda BOTW for £160 and having possibly the best gaming experience Ive ever had but some PC gamers actually would buy this for almosy 3 times the price which on its own would effectively be a not very good door stop
For a third of the price you could be having the an incredible once in a lifetime experience or you could buy this and run your games at 10fps faster than what you are currently doing

People enjoy different gaming experiences? Different platforms provide different experiences. 1440p/144hz or 4k/60fps first person shooters and such obviously dont work on a underpowered wii u, so how ever much fun the new Zelda is, the console isnt for everyone. This is just another option that appeals to different people. Dont be so close minded, different things for different people.

You can't get Zelda on PC, and if you could I think it run a little more than 10fps faster on a 1080 compared to a wii U. What is the point in the these comments? Its not even comparable.

I remember buying a console-dark days :disappointed:
And boy am I still reminded because its bloody useless at keeping the door open :confused:
if your having possibly the best gaming experience You've ever had! You obviously aren't because You're doing it on a Wii U :smirk:

An extra 10 FPS? You've just proved how little your knowledge of this subject is.
If you put a 1080 in your rig and you can only pull 10 FPS more than a Wii U then you're definitely trying to play games with a toaster.
If I were to put this 1080 in my rig right now i'll probably have an increase of over 100 FPS on my current build.
Also if Wii U Zelda breath of the wild is 'the best gaming experience you've ever had' then I don't think you've had a very good upbringing. Ocarina of time will always be the best Zelda game, and even so, those games pale in comparison to the majority of my PC titles.

Enjoy, BOTW looks very good. Not sure you can defend the hardware though, their recent consoles are appalling value for money to play a handful of exclusives drip-fed over their lifetime.

I'm just going to assume you're not a troll, so...
High end PC Gaming is for luxury, hardcore or competitive gamers. Casual gamers and children on a limited budget aren't going to get much out of a budget "gaming PC" (unless it's all second hand parts and they're playing on low/medium settings), nor will they want to invest in the setup costs and space needed for a good high end PC gaming experience (big table, high end gaming chair, multiple monitors, top quality peripherals, etc).
There are category of PC games that you simply can't find on consoles or don't work well, at least not the top tier of games. MMORPG, MOBA, RTS, many strategy and simulation type games. Games like WoW, LoL, Dota, Civ, FM, C&C, Starcraft, TW, etc etc, are legendary and amazing titles which provide experiences you can't find on consoles. FPS games are also better with a good keyboard and mouse. Overall all of these categories of PC exclusive games are easily the best multiplayer, competitive and social gaming experiences because they're designed around it, which is why they're reflected by the size and scale of pro gaming communities and esports for PC titles.
PC and consoles serve largely different purposes. Consoles are better for sports, fighting, and triple A single player games. Like the majority of gaming enthusiasts I like to dabble in both and enjoy the best of both worlds.
So the main point I'll make to you is that if you genuinely like video games then sticking to a limited story single player game on a console aimed at kids just means you're missing out...

You got the once part right. Enjoy playing Zelda and then nothing else since there won't be any other good games. Oh.... Maybe the non special edition skyrim.... You can have that

Oh right, I didn't realise that a Wii U could power my HTC Vive. I guess I'll sell my GTX 1080 for a Wii U then. Great advice, cheers.

Says "promo", I can only assume this was a display card

Does Overclockers brand used display cards as "promo" normally?
Never bought from them before you see.
I thought its was just promotion to clear stock for the new batch cards coming.

The MSI Armour GTX 1080 I posted at £425 was £30 cheaper, and although it has been fluctuating in price over the past week is still the same price as this. :wink:

I'm pretty sure people have misinterpreted Richard27 - he doesn't mean 10fps faster than a Wii U, he means 10fps faster when upgrading your existing GPU (e.g. GTX 970 to 1070)... he's also not being literal! It's hyperbole.
