Did they give reasons? If not ignore them and move on. Opinions come a dime a dozen on the internet.

It was during their top ten things that could go wrong feature. A crappy controller was one of the, with a picture of the Wii U gamepad.

Then just ignore it as it's just trolling.

You can't spell "accurate reporting" without IGN.

Lol, the Wii U controller is a fantastic controller. It's comfortable, has all the buttons I need, not to mention they re positioned perfectly, it's got a great screen, that looks better than my Sony bravia tv (believe it or not) and you can play Monster Hunter, Assasins Creed 3 and so on in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom (and of course the living room too) with just the gamepad.

IGN is not a hive-mind. Some of them like the GamePad, some of them do not. Which party do you think is more likely to be running coverage of an Xbox event?
