OK, so I woke up this morning to get an early start on my gaming, because once either my wife or son gets up, which they usually do at the same time, they tend to ‘interrupt’ my gaming experience. So before long they did wake up and did interrupt my bonding session with my Wii U.
My son wanted to watch Netflix, so I quit my Mario U session and started up Toy Story 2 in Netflix and had it running on the TV. Then I proceeded to grab my laptop to go and surf the web L. But then I had an Epiphany, and thought, is it possible to let my son watch Netflix on the Wii U while I turn on my 360 and go play some more Skyrim?
Well, with the Wii U it was all made possible since, I could switch the Netflix viewing from the TV to the Wii U Gamepad. I then switched the audio receiver over to the 360 and then booted up my 360 and played on the TV while my son is oblivious to how awesome the whole experience is. I mean how cool is that, that you can actually be using two separate consoles and experiencing them at the same time? Not only that but then it's possible for my son to quit Netflix and go play Mario U while I'm in the same room playing my 360 and without interrupting my play. I think that is quite awesome.
Nintendo and the Wii U made this possible, and such is one of the many reasons I love my Wii U.

This is a great and really outstanding feature of the WiiU along with Miiverse.
I fear it's a double edged sword though. A lot of mom's bought Wii to get their kids (and themselves) active and off the couch. This actually goes the opposite way. Now you turn off the TV on those kids and tell them to go do something and they just keep on playing. Wii helped kids lose weight, WiiU helps pack on the pounds!
Dad's will love it. Mom's.... not so sure. And Mom's were responsible for a LOT of Wii sales. Regardless, I too have to give up early to get in any game time before my son/wife wake up, so this is a great feature.

Wii U has got fitness, which I'm doesn't involve the Gamepad but uses the Balance Board and Wiimotes:

LOL - true! But why ungrade to WiiU then?
