Really? Nobody is impressed with what they showed with Nintendo TVii?

The reason nobody is talking about it should be fairly obvious. This isn't Nintendo trailblazing. This is just Nintendo catching up to the competition. We are talking about a standard feature that is fundamentally universal. Every player in the console market does this with their own little tweaks. Anyone with a 360 or a PS3 already has this experience today. The bells and whistles aren't even that compelling.

For example people that watch shows and movies on consoles typically do so, because they want to get away from cable providers. They don't want to put up with the commercials, and who can blame them. The advertiser typically wants to annoy you, depress you, or scare you. In other words they want to make you miserable in some way. So they can profit from that misery. Who wants to be told that they are diseased, a failure, and ugly to boot. That is ninety percent of what is on tap, and the other ten percent is a sad commentary on society, or a song that is just catchy enough to get trapped in your skull for days.

Not really.

PS360 (I have a PS3 and lots of people with 360s) are not the same at all.

1) Neither of them can control your TV and DVR as standard features.

2) All their media content (hulu, netflix, etc) are separate apps that have absolutely ZERO interlinking.

3) 360 costs extra money just to get to what services it offers.

4) Wii U's controller setup makes it a bajillion times easier to use as a STANDARD design.

5) Wii U's is next-gen and it is what MSony will copy with their next products.

Nintendo's approach is more like GoogleTVs. Its far more advanced that PS360. I also have no clue why you are ranting on ads and its relavence to Nintendo TVii.
