Just as an observation, it seems like a lot of people's disapointment with the Wii U system is that Nintendo didn't give you information that they weren't likely to release; and that they didn't show off games they weren't likely to display. In other words people's expectations were way too high ...

Nintendo never officially released the specifications of the Wii to the public, and it is likely that they will never release specifications on another home console because they don't believe that it is meaningful to consumers. At the same time, it seems like this E3 was the reveal for the Wii U, and could be considered similar to Spaceworld 2000 for the Gamecube or TGS 2005 for the Wii; and you're getting far more details about the system along with playable demos which neither the Gamecube or Wii had when they were revealed. We're probably not going to see built from the ground up software for the Wii U until next E3
