Exactly. I don't have any hate for Nintendo, as they're basically the company of my childhood (33 years old). But come on, it doesn't take a genius to see what they're doing here. After releasing the Gamecube and getting owned for the second time sales wise, they threw in the towel and came up with a clever way of making money. They took what was SUPPOSE to be an add on controller for the Gamecube (Wiimote), threw the Gamecube's guts into a new shinny case, and called in a "new" machine. What happened? MONEY!! So it shouldn't shock anyone to find out that they did it again with the Wii-U. Power wise, it's basically a 360 with a Nintendo logo on it.
I don't wish them ill will, but I think their luck will run out and they'll finish dead last this gen. Hopefully it sends them back to the drawing board and they actually start making new IP and innovative hardware like the NES days. That's MY wish anyway.
