Your "always right" mantra is an easy target to pick on, especially because you are wrong more often than not. You should know me, so you can expect that I remember several occasions of your wrongness that were absolutely embarrassing. I will not list them in this post and I won't name them in this thread at all, unless you decide to act in a manner that makes me feel that you deserve to get wrecked.

You've written a longwinded explanation that starts off by comparing Wii and Wii U, but then quickly shifts to compare Wii U with other consoles. It concludes with the statement that NX will demonstrate why you want a controller with a screen. You are basing this on the Eurogamer rumor, but said writeup says that the screen will go into a dock while the controller parts will be detached. Get it? If Eurogamers is correct, then NX won't have a screen controller.

Obviously I'm not right 100% of the time, but my track record is certainly more often right. Sure you could cherry pick your results to 'prove' otherwise, but meh that is poor taste and not worth of either of our time. We should keep our time to picking on others.

My explanation focused on where the comparisons made sense. Wii when focusing on known success of a console where you adamtly have stated Nintendo did a great job and then with current gen hardware where Wii comparisons are out of context. If that is confusing, I can update the list.

I've stated well before (years ago when Nintendo converged hardware divisions) Eurogamer that NX would be a console with portable and home functions. For this to work the portable would have to have a screen and I have said previously, and now, that it could be used similar to a gamepad when you are home. Of course the docking patent supports the idea that the dock or supplemental device would enhance TV gameplay and thus yes that would mean you are using a proController instead. Basically, there is nothing in the concept of NX having gamepad like qualities and a docking station that is contradictory.

edit: I ignore the eurogamer articles assertion of a detachable controllers as I don't think it means you pull full controllers out and play. I think it means you have a heavily personalizable controller where you can remove a thumbstick and add a d-pad, etc.
