Nintendo haven't exactly handled the launch particularly well. We don't know the price or really even a concrete release date so it is hard for supporters to really get into it.

On the other hand if you already own a PS3/Xbox 360 what does the Wii U bring to the table? It brings a tablet controller and that is about it. I believe people want more than a retread of what they already own, many people are more than ready for a next generation and what is the Wii U except a retread of the existing one?


LOL

I feel like if you switch 360 and Wii around, this situation is the exact same thing as Move & Kinect. 

The tablet is another new method of control. I'm not really sure what else they could have done instead.

The two arent even comparable, not even close. You are comparing add-ons to existing consoles to a brand new console.  SOny and MS gave an optional control method. Ninty is asking people to buy a new console(not that there is anything wrong with that)

You sure about that? What if I reworded it?

On the other hand if you already own a Wii, what do the Move or Kinect bring to the table? They bring more motion controllers and that is about it.

Like stated earlier, the UPad has more features then your standard tablet for sure, and it has regular old buttons and analogs too. Wii U is not super strong, but it still is stronger then the current generation of consoles, so the potential for what it can do is yet to be seen for another few years.


But those arent new CONSOLES, you're not required to spend hundreds of dollars for those (granted you already own said consoles), so that argument doesnt hold water. 

Upad has more features that a standard controller? No im sorry it doesnt unless your talking about the cheap ones. Yes it has buttons thats about it. It doesnt have a multitouch screen and it doesnt even work outside of the home, and the acutally functionality of the U pad itself is limited on its own. Its not a tablet therefore it cannot have more functions than a tablet. But lets say your right why not use that same argument with MOVE/KINECT, Move is more accurate than WIimote and the Kinect is a different kinda beast anyway.
