It will likely not sell anywhere near the original wii due to the already massive tablet market. Obviously they recognize this being a problem, as they are trying to distance the system from being labeled a tablet of any kind. We know the M$ is probably already putting together a software update that will enable all windows 8 tablets to link to the nextbox and thus eliminate nintendo's thunder a bit if not entirely. It will depend on how portable the wiiU controller is without the system. We will have to wait til summer to have a real good idea of the true specs of the wiiU. |
Dont even think that a software update will be required. Already have capability for Xbox Companion devices. Just need an app that supports the gameplay functionality desired. A phone or tablet with front and rear facing cameras will do the trick.

Not saying you are wrong but without a d-pad, buttons etc., a tablet can never quite "do the trick".
Some games, yes. For others a tablet will be found severely lacking and take away significantly from the gameplay.
I do however see your point. Vita and tablet apps can do the same to PS3.
As ladyguy said this is all rather speculative and when we get a more indepth look at the wii u capabilities then better conclusions can be drawn.

And since tablets and phones are multi-touch they will be able to do things that the Wii U cant as well. We wont know which is better for quite some time.
