To say Size Matters... when the Wii U allows you to use ANY OFF-THE-SHELF STORAGE OF YOUR CHOICE?

You can attach a 3 TeraByte USB External Drive (or whatever next higher size market will offer over time) to your Wii U and use that... that is Nintendo saying, we don't want to make money on selling you limited capacity expensive proprietary hard drive (X360) and want it to be extremely easy to upgrade storage according to your individual needs over time (PS3 is a pain to upgrade).

Yes the PS3 is an absolute pain in the ass to upgrade... and your capacity is still limited to 750GB for 7200rpm or 1TB for 5400rpm 2.5" drives currently available - and it is not for people not comfortable swapping out an internal drive. I upgraded mine from 500GB to 750GB about two weeks ago, and I am still re-downloading all the crap that doesn't transfer over after 20+ hours of backup and then 20+ hours of restore. Why was the backup/restore so lengthy when it didn't even copy over my freaking trophies which had to get re-synced, nor any DRM content (which is 99% of what you have).

When I upgraded my PSV from the 4GB included to a 32GB... that was painful as well requiring that crappy Content Manager software installed on PC and then connecting PSV via USB to PC to do backup, then restore. Also took a really long time.

Compare that to how you upgrade storage for Nintendo machines like DS, 3DS, etc... ya you just copy the files from old storage to new storage. Take out SD card, plug to comptuer, copy files to computer, plug in new SD card to computer, copy files back onto it. Put the new card in the 3DS and you are done. Took < 10 minutes to upgrade from my 2GB started memory on 3DS to get to 32GB. Didn't have to re-download nothing. That is how they have it for the Wii U... so you don't know what the F your talking about when you complaining about Nintendo's storage options.

It also makes everything else you said sound like the rant of an uninformed individual that is less serious about gaming then someone claiming Nintendo is not serious about gaming. What a bunch of jokers.
