People just dont understand shades of grey and competition.
SmartGlass doesnt need to beat Wii U. It is competition and from what we have seen the uses of the Wii U except for whats being done with Zombie U (And even that can be done, just maybe not as effieciently) can be done with SmartGlass. Most of the games that Nintendo has shown so far make use of the Wii U screen as a screen for an extra player or for informational purposes. Things that SmartGlass can do quite well. Some examples this gen.
Just Dance series on Wii doesnt really know that you are dancing when you shake the Wii Mote and Dance Central tracked full body movement with Kinect. People playing Just Dance still had fun.
Most of the games in Wii Sport only relied on using the Wii Mote as a motion controlled switch. You didnt need to make the actions like the real sport to play. People still had fun.
Not to mention that no one is speaking about what SmartGlass features that the Wii U controller doesnt have.
SmartGlass is multi-touch. Yes Nintendo says they dont need it. We will see. We will see how many people expect pinch and zoom and it never works.
Xbox 360 can handle up to 4 SmartGlass devices. Wii U can handle 2.
SmartGlass works with the devices people already know.
SmartGlass devices will be more powerful devices with developers more experienced with the platform.
SmartGlass will have a much larger install base and that will appeal to publishers when it comes to decisions about building in features common to both platforms or to provide special features for the larger install base.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
