Did Nintendo Just blow it?

I didn't see the whole conference, but I tuned in at around the time they were talking about the new controller, wasn't impressed by it or the games they announced for it, although the GTA style lego game looks kinda cool. The new controller looked really odd and it looked quite big, I was left thinking 'Is that controller going to be comfortable to use'. They seem to be going after the hardcore auidence with this console which I can understand on one sense, but at the same time I'm a little confused by it, Nintendo are obviosly a casual/family friendly driven company, there's no denying that. Why would Ps3 or 360 owners jump ship to this? Because Wii U provides graphics that are on par or 'slightly' better than 5+ year consoles?

There is potential, no doubt about it, it just didn't get me at all exicted.

Hands on impressions say it's surprisingly comfortable, but I guess something like that would vary from person to person.

As for the graphics, we have no idea how much better they are than the competition.

That's a good sign then, suppose it's like anything new, will take a little time to get used to it.
