Aaaah I remember this article =)

I think they might have to get an USP; if only because the competition will get it. What if PS720 only uped the graphics, and nothing else? 

Then they would suck, but those aren't going to be the only advancements or innovations even if the input device is the same, because in todays world I would say the system's OS and UI is just as important as the hardware, and I'm very confident they'll have a slew of new features and refinements. And first party titles of course.

I see 4 USP's for the Wii U. Of course their 1st party games. A no brainer. But the controller COULD become something great; not saying it will, but if developers use it I think it could be a real USP. Then we have the Miiverse, which could become a pretty cool feature. But what I love with Wii U is Nintendo TVii! If that shit's coming to Europe I'll be so happy :D

Those aren't just small "advancements or innovations" and "new features and refinements"; those things could sell consoles. If sony and MS only refines what they already got, they'll be left in the dust by Nintendo. They need to bring something new.

as an HD console owner i honestly don't find that impressive at all, HD consoles have loads of media  and social services integrated into them already like netflix, hulu etc

maybe i'm just ignorant of how its such a massive improvement, so what makes it so special to you ( that you would imply that its such a massive improvement over the media and social services offered by consoles already )

 

as for miiverse personally it looks like something that i'd ignore and just hop straight into whatever game i booted the console up for
