Region lock is no big deal. Honestly, how many people import games from Japan or other regions anyway? 95% of consoles going all the way back to the NES have been region locked or designed in such a way that games are incompatible with consoles from other regions and vice-versa. Hell, even DVD/Blu-Ray players still do this... how come nobody complains about them?
And I LOL'd when the author started bashing Wii U's launch lineup when it's the best launch lineup any console has seen since maybe the Dreamcast.
Storage is a non-issue as well. How many "hardcore gamers" are still rocking their 20GB PS360s these days? Oh that's right, they all went and upgraded their HDDs, usually at the cost of over $100 for a decent sized drive in addition to the $400 or more they initially spent on their console. Now you can get an external USB HDD for like $50-$60 that has way more storage than any of the PS360 SKUs do. Yeah the game discs are up to 25GB, but so far there's no word on mandatory installs like PS3 has, or the need to install bonus / additional content like you do on many 360 games. 8-32GB is plenty of storage for saves and VC/WiiWare titles, but the option is always there to expand that as much as you want with dirt-cheap SD cards or USB HDDs.
Bottom line is if you're spending so much money on DLC that 32GB is nowhere near enough for you, then spending a few extra bucks on additional storage should be no biggie either... especially since you've most likely already done it before if you're a PS360 gamer.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
