Ever heard of the iPad?

What Nintendo has here with the Wii U is the first real tablet gaming console, and it is kid-friendly. It will sell like hotcakes. Mark my words.

I always here that same argument and I think its silly.   The WiiU controller is no iPad.  I can't take it with me, its not portable.  It does not appeal in the same way.  I won't be storing music on it, I wont be getting aps for it, I won't use it for anything other than being a gaming controller which it is.  The only thing the WiiU controller and a ipad really share is the look, not functionality.

I will give you this much, its intuitive, its easy to understand and use.  That will be great selling point. 

And so are the best tablets, and they are getting better and better at gaming and more and more people are gaming on them. Casual gamers will see the Wii U's major selling point, it's tablet controller and think "I already have an Ipad/other tablet, I can play plenty of great games on that, why should I spend $xxx on this?"
