The OP is entitled to his opinion. The only silly thing IMO is the talk of weight of controller.
The wii u gamepad is almost twice as heavy as the x360 wireless gamepad. It shouldn't take a rocket science degree to figure this out why this is. It is heavier because there is much, much more tech in it.
Anyone that expected it to be the same weight as a standard gamepad lacks the grey matter.
The controller for the wii u is 500g according to sources. My less than one year old neice 's milk bottle weighs about 400g when full of milk and she has no problems holding it up with one hand.
I just find it strange that a teenager or adult would consider a 500g controller too heavy, in terms that it would affect effective gameplay.
