Because it's the latest and greatest thing.

I just don't understand they hype. Is this all because of what happened with the Wii at launch? A bunch of people trying the corner the market on craigslist / ebay?

It's the successor to a console that sold 100 million units.
NSBMU is the successor to a game that sold 25 million copies.
It has something new as far as the controller.
This console is going to be massive. The mainstream advertising campaign hasn't even rolled out yet.
Amazing how this little internet Gaf world misses these facts and focuses on things irrelevant to console wars like specs.
oh crap so this one is ACTUALLY going to be in high demand. I got a 3DS at launch for this reason, and that never materialized... so I did the reverse this time
oh well there's time before Pikmin 3 releases.
Because finally I can get my collection of Virtual Console (and some WiiWare) games bound to a real account on a fresh system, rather than having to sink with the ship.Why are people so excited about this thing?

I'm curious as to where you live that you were able to walk in on day 1 and get a Wii system like the shelves were about to buckle from all the weight of unsold systems.
You couldn't walk into a store where I live until the next Spring and see a Wii sitting on the shelf.
Also, before you make your bold prediction about WiiU systems just sitting there for the average person to walk in and buy whenever they feel like it, some history for you - since the year 2000, there have only been 2 consoles in the U.S. that weren't supply constrained to the point where you could walk into a store and buy one at any time within the first couple of weeks that it launched - the Gamecube and the PS3. The Gamecube because, well, it was a Cube, and PS2 had a year head start on it in the U.S., and the PS3 because of $599 USD.
That's not to say you absolutely won't be able to just walk into a store and get one. Some people will follow the UPS trucks, some people will get lucky right after UPS has made a delivery and they've just restocked the shelves.
But keep this in mind - the general media hasn't even been talking about Wii U yet, and pre-orders are already sold out everywhere. Its the follow up to the best selling console of last generation, and there's a good segment of the hardcore audience who are starving for some new hardware at this point. I have no doubt that Nintendo will sell every single WiiU they can ship from now until probably the end of January or early Spring.
For the past year people have been crying for a next gen console, and here it is.

Crazy how much cynical and bitterness in every Wii U thread.
Wii U is coming around at just the right time as the industry is bombing.
It needs a new console with immense popularity to become the industry leader so this is a good thing.
Which ones?

Pikmin 3 must be getting one hell of a polishing job not even sure why it slipped out of Launch
or maybe they loved the eat and poop idea from Nintendo Land and are busy adding it
Question, why do people keep posting the pre-order articles of systems that didn't sell that well regardless of pre-orders?
I have no clue either. It certainly still looks like a up-res Wii game, so that can't be it.
Also, is anyone else going to miss the extremely hilarious and clever treasure hunt item descriptions from the second game? Man, those were amazing...
Because the Wii U is going to be a sales titan and they probably don't want it to become the industry leader this generation. To be blunt.
Wishful thinking on their part.
I don't mind if it's the industry leader next gen. As long as I can get my fix of high profile games (next gen GTAs, Uncharteds, Halos, Forza, etc) on the PS4/720, Wii U can lead all it wants.

Do people actually still think Pikmin 3 looks like a up-res Wii game still?

How many Pikmin can you control in 3?.
I would have thought with the HUGE increase in resources, many more Pikmin could be handled.

Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2
Pikmin 3
