im not trying to crap on Wii U here, ive been excited to this point, but if it will truly only support one tablet at a time. What will motivate the casual Wii sport/Fit playing audience to upgrade??? They dont care about HD graphics as much and wouldnt they just stick to the Wii, if only one person can really benefit from the system???

First I would like to agree it will be a much harder sell than the Wii, not because the concept is not beneficial to casual games as well, but because it is not as easy to grasp in a second.

That said, beyond some things I can't imagine but they apparently plan to do with Wii Fit and other casual franchises, games such as Pictionary and Mario Paint say hi. Yes there's THQ's Udraw for the Wii, but

1. THQ's Udraw won't be getting any Nintendo made games, and only THQ will develop games for it (if at all) since not everybody has one

2. The ability of the WiiU screen to get completely different input and thus the player holding it be able to hide information from everybody else makes this a much better fit for games like Pictionary than the Udraw.

Now if you add to that the fact that all their WIi games will work on the WiiU and all the controllers they bought (including even the balance board) will work on the WiiU, and you have a nice upgrade path...
