Batman had some uses for the tablet, but nothing I would call revolutionary. The baterang can be done with the PS3 controller and I don't even think they showed additional functionality for Mass Effect 3 or Assassin's Creed 3 did they?

No, it was revolutionary, much more than just controlling a batarang (you bring out the only case that's already been done, even by the Wiimote, see SS). What you could do was the kind of thing you can do on 3DS like in RE:R, but could never do on consoles. Complete puzzles on a touch screen, swap items on the fly. Then ZombiU actually shows the player punch in a code while the TV screen shows the character looking back at the zombies. That was awesome, I'm sorry. No, the controller is revolutionary, that's not the issue.

For everything else in your post, I agree.

I also saw the demonstration for Sing where the words are on the tablet instead of the TV screen. Now really, how does that make the game any better? It's Karaoke, only this time you have extra crap to hold instead of only needing a microphone. I wouldn't consider that progression.

ZombiU to me looked alright. I liked when he was looking into the tablet and then when he brought it down that zombie was in his face. My problem though is why is it everyone other than Nintendo that is doing somewhat interesting things with the WiiU?

I see many problems in the future for the WiiU, even more so once next gen really starts rolling and Sony and MS bring out much more graphics heavy consoles because let's be honest here... we all know a bunch of devs are making engines tailored to next gen consoles, so where do you think they are going to go?

 

Also for the record I don't think the Controller isn't revolutionary. I love the thing, but I just think Nintendo is seriously dropped the ball big time.
