Firstly, I don't think that the tablets and phones are taking territories away from the consoles.

The Wii/PS3/360 generation and the DS/PSP generations are the most successfull generation so far in the industry.

That being said, I don't think the Wii U will hurt tablets because it is totally different. I highly doubt that the Wii U controller has a competent processor built in, so it will be very limited when far off the console.


I should have talked about the  3DS as well, but oh well.

 

So you do not think that tablets and phones are having any effect on the consoles or handhelds at all? Even though Twitter, media, news, internet, this site, other gaming sites are saying that it is.

Why do you doubt that it does not  have a competent processor in it? Reggie already said the Wii U will be for people with the means to purchase such a thing. Core Gamers who want high quality. If the system is going to cost 500 or more I would hope the controller would have something in it other than cardboard.


The tablets are a small computer with shit specs (for computers) but still a computer.

If Nintendo was placing CPU and GPU in the Wii U controller at the level of tablets, the whole console would be worth around 700-800$.

 

Unrealistic.
