A moderately compressed bluray (1080p) can have a bandwith of 54mbps, 4k is roughly 6 times bigger resolution than 1080p. Stereoscopic 4k could be around 600mbps, right?

Nobody streams at Blu-ray bit rates.  It's absolutely pointless to do so.   The highest bit rate I've found from any stream provider is 10.5 mbps and that's for the highest quality 1920 x 1080 movies.

Nobody will be streaming 4k video feeds at Blu-ray bit rates.  Nobody.

Yeah, one can get a usb ethernet but that is kind of silly to not being included in the first place.

Yeah, one can buy a 3 TB external HDD for the Wii U but it's kind of silly to not being included in the first place.

 

TO ALL:
I'm not trying say it wouldn't have been a nice addition to have but the Mt Everest some of you guys are making out of this pebble in the road is ridiculous.   Even more so because of the lack of understanding of Wi-Fi technology on display in this thread that is being spouted out of ignorance is making the network administrator inside me face palm at every other post.

If you have a good router and a good ISP and the router isn't several rooms away from your gaming room, Wi-Fi will operate just fine.   You'll never notice the difference between it and a wired connection.

If you have a bad Wi-Fi connection, this could be your router, your ISP or the location of the router.  In that case, just buy the damn dongle.
