So I've now had my Wii U crash twice in about 200 hours of usage. It's kind of worrying. Yeah, 200 hours is a long time to have it on total, but I don't think I've ever experienced my PS3 crashing in 4 years of having it, and if it has it was never during the random things that my Wii U has crashed on.
It hasn't crashed because of overheating, or overuse, or anything like that....just random ass operations have crashed it. The first time it crashed, I turned it on and went into the System Settings to see if there was a System Update. The System Settings splash screen never finished loading. It just got stuck there forever. The system didn't officially crash, however an hour later it wasn't in it, and it didn't respond to any of the buttons on the machine. I had to pull the plug. This morning, it just crashed going into the DLC for MH3U. It was checking the current DLC downloaded, and then it hard froze with repeating sounds. Had to pull the plug again. Considering I've only had my Wii U for 2 months, this isn't exactly a good sign to me.
