-Console looks ugly. Why did they choose to make it long instead of wide? t's just weird....
-Why the power brick? Is there a technical reason for this? Does the power supply not fit inside the console? Why is PS3 the only console to not have a power brick?
-Wii U Pro controller looks nice. Wonder if its actually usable. The button placements seem like an odd choice.
-Wii U gamepad disapoints. Needs its own power chord to charge. No charging via USB, only 3-5hour battery life despite the console being the one doing all the work.....
-Launch line-up is nice but not anything that convinces me to jump ship since the best of the line-up is available on PS3/360 as well... |
The fact that the Wii U gamepad has a power brick does not mean you can't charge from USB.

True. But this needs to be confirmed. So far I have found no evidence to support that it can charge through USB.
They are plenty of rumours that it can't but I guess we need to wait for more details.

Actually it was confirmed.
The reason being USB does provide enough power i.e. the pad would charge too slow (slower than its rate of consumption?)
I rememeber reading it for sure, but I'm too tired to look it up :p

If that is indeed the case the only solution is to buy a power extension cable and place it at your feet or on the sofa next to you. Just don't spill your beer on it if it is not splash proof.
Genius me.
