If a gamer did not buy a Wii, then he wont buy a WiiU. People buy nintendo consoles for nintendo games. I know that nintendo is trying to offer the hardcore games a "better" way to interact with games, but I dont give a damn about the tablet game pad.


I have a hard time understading this. The GamePad adds so much functionality. The simplest version would be the removal of the heads-up-display that you would have to press start to go to. You could select weapons with the tap of the screen. You could see the overhead map right in your controller. Driving games would have a map and maybe a dash-board showing your fuel meter and your speed. The possibilities are endless. 

I'm also really excited about the TV possibilities, as I have said before. The GamePad functions as a TV remote! Also you could navigate netflix while you watch netflix. You could browse TV guide while you channel surf. There will be many other devices that do this in the coming years, but really the Wii U will be one of the first, and do it on the cheap.
