Do you realize that you answered your own question? Plenty of people are on other devices while the TV is on for others. My girlfriend is constantly doing things on her phone, tablet, or playing my 3DS while the TV is on a show. Even my mom often plays her DS while watching programs in the background. The WiiU will give people the ability to play a full-fledged console game in their hands on the fly if others enter the room for TV watching. Same goes for watching Netflix, etc. And who said you must remain in the same room? You can count asymmetrical gameplay as yet another feature that the WiiU provides that hasn't been done before out of the box for a home game console, which is why I brought it up in this discussion. Whether it's a selling point remains to be seen, but it certainly has potential. |
Wireless has a limited range for streaming. Besides if the Vita does practically the same thing and is not popular there is very little reason to think that the Wii U tablet feature will be more popular with even less capability.
Tease.
