The bottom line is, the unveiling was piss poor, there was no excuse for how bad it was. Barely any games were mentioned (definitely not exclusive ones), I didn't even know it was a new console until the last 5 minutes of the conference, the controller just seems awkward and NOT innovative.
Throw in the fact that Nintendo has just overcomplicated the matter by announcing you can only use ONE of these controllers, the rest will have to be Wiimotes etc and the name "Wii U" is absolutely awful and will confuse the consumer into thinking this is an add-on, just like what happened with the 3DS. If hardcore gamers watching the conference thought Wii U was an add-on how the hell do they expect the casual market to know it isn't an add-on.
The ONLY thing I can compliment is the screen on the controller because of the ability to play games on it without the TV and to use it for menu's etc. Still, it brings complications, Nintendo are shitting on the 3DS with the controller design and the thing will be bulky and expensive. I can't see myself playing Call of Duty on that thing.
I'm not a "hater", I know a flawed console when I see one. It's not so much the console itself, but it was the piss poor unveiling aswell.
