Two used consoles, two very different starting points

The Wii U 8GB Basic Set and the Xbox One S Battlefield 1 Early Enlister Deluxe Edition bundle are both complete, ready-to-play packages, but they solve different problems. The Wii U leans on backward compatibility with Wii games and accessories plus a distinctive second-screen controller. The Xbox One S bundle leans on a 1TB drive, 4K video output, and a packed-in game. Your choice comes down to which library you want, how much storage you need, and whether the included accessories match what you already own.

This guide sticks to what the listings confirm. Where a detail is not stated, treat it as something to verify with the seller rather than assuming it is included or supported.

What each listing actually includes

Storage, size, and what each console expects from your setup

Storage is the clearest practical difference. The Wii U Basic Set ships with 8GB, which fills quickly if you download games or save lots of data. The Xbox One S bundle includes a 1TB drive, giving you far more room before you need to manage space. Neither listing confirms expansion options, so plan around the included capacity.

  • Wii U 8GB Basic Set: 8GB internal storage. The console measures approximately 1.8 inches tall, 6.8 inches wide, and 10.5 inches long. It is backward compatible with Wii games and Wii accessories, and supports up to four Wii Remote (or Wii Remote Plus) controllers at once, along with Nunchuk, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro, and Wii Balance Board.
  • Xbox One S Battlefield 1 bundle: 1TB internal storage. The listing describes the console as 40% smaller than the original Xbox One and notes 4K video streaming and UHD Blu-ray playback. It plays Xbox 360 classics according to the listing. No controller compatibility beyond the included wireless controller is confirmed.

The Wii U's second screen and Wii backward compatibility

The GamePad is not just a controller. It adds a 6.2-inch, 16:9 LCD touch screen with traditional buttons and two analog sticks, creating a second window into games. If you already own Wii Remotes, Nunchuks, or a Balance Board, the Wii U lets you keep using them, which lowers the real cost of switching. The listing confirms four USB 2.0 ports and an AV Multi Out connector, but it does not list specific streaming services or online features, so check those separately if they matter to you.

The Xbox One S bundle's 4K and Battlefield focus

This bundle is built around Battlefield 1 and Ultra HD output. The listing confirms High Dynamic Range support for games and video, 4K streaming on Netflix and Amazon Video, and UHD Blu-ray playback. The included game and case are part of the package. What the listing does not confirm is the exact condition of the pack-in game disc or any subscription requirements, so ask the seller if those details affect your purchase.

A used-console checklist that applies to both listings

Before you pay, confirm the parts that are hardest to replace. The listings are explicit that anything not named is not included, so use that as your baseline.

  • Match the contents list to the photos: For the Wii U, count the console, GamePad, both AC adapters, HDMI cable, and sensor bar. For the Xbox One S, count the console, controller, charging cable, power cable, HDMI cable, game, and case.
  • Ask about the GamePad joysticks: The Wii U listing specifies black joysticks that are up to date. Confirm they are present and not heavily worn, since replacement parts are an extra cost.
  • Verify the controller on the Xbox One S: The listing says the wireless controller is new and up to date. Ask whether the charging cable is the original type and whether the controller has been tested.
  • Check disc and digital entitlements: The Xbox bundle includes a physical game and case. The Wii U listing does not mention a pack-in game. Neither listing confirms whether any digital codes are unused.
  • Confirm return terms before purchase: Used electronics vary in condition. Ask the seller about testing, return windows, and whether the console has been reset to factory settings.

Which console fits your habits?

Choose the Wii U 8GB Basic Set if you want Nintendo's first-party library, already own Wii accessories, and value the GamePad's second-screen play. Be ready to manage 8GB of storage or rely on physical discs. Choose the Xbox One S Battlefield 1 bundle if you want a larger drive, 4K video and UHD Blu-ray playback, and a shooter packed in. It is the simpler choice if you do not already own Xbox accessories, because the controller and cables are included.

Neither listing confirms online service requirements, account restrictions, or long-term part availability. Those are fair questions for the seller, not assumptions to make from the product page.
