Wii U or Xbox360?

I'm upgrading to a PS4 so PS3 is out of the question.

I like achievements and great controller of the xbox but I'll eventually upgrade to an Xbox One.

The Wii U menu is kind of sluggish and I'm worried about the toy box mode having the menu on the gamepad. Whereas the Xbox version has everything on one screen, the Wii U forces me to keep looking back and forth.

I really can't decide.

See I love the fact that the inventory will be on the game pad! Instead of cycling through various menus, it's all at your finger tip. Also, off screen mode is a great feature (especially when you have a gf that likes TV)

I find the action of having to stop looking at the screen only to glance at another screen more detracting. Especially that it doesn't make anything faster other than an excuse to have something on the gamepad.

Think building can be much faster just by looking on TV for everything.

D3spard, is the tv going to be shared with other people, or is it just for the system you're thinking of getting?

TV is just in my room.

Nothing but games is used for it. Wonder if the Wii U will be graphically superior. Brother likes to play Forza sometimes on Xbox so a few times the off screen Wii U is nice.

Since it will be just you using the TV, go for the 360.

This would be 10x easier if there were reviews out already. When does the embargo lift?? Day of release?

Xbox 360, because that is what I am playing on. If that does not sway you I am not sure what will.
