And what will be the Ferrari and what will be the Mazda if say in a map I want to zoom or pan or rotate the map?  Well since the Wii U tablet is only single touch I would say that the Wii U table will be the mazda and the SmartGlass device the Ferrari.  Just saying that in some circumstances the Wii U tablet will be the inferior choice. 

Again I get down to the fact that the Wii U is quite likely to have a short lifespan. Shorter than the Wii lifespan.  1, 2, 3, 4 years from now the Wii U tablet will still be the same device with the same horsepower that is very likely already short on power compared to most of the smartphones that people have today. Let alone what will be sold this fall.

Good point, but the power of the host machine (the 360 and eventually durango) will be capped, so this can only go so far.

Also, I already admitted to the multi-touch advantage of SG it's not cool to just bring that up when convenient. The Ferrari/Mazda metaphore I used just for that example, not for the whole WiiU pad vs SG debate.

So ultimately, there are 1 or 2 cases of advantage on the SG:

1) Multi-touch

2) Upgradability of tablet performance.

But for most other things the WiiU is on par and more convenient/better suited for independent dual-screen gaming.
