Vita has a good browser too, but it's irrelevant to my point because I don't use it in conjunction with my TV like I do with the Wii U.

Yesterday I turned on my TV, switched the input, was watching the basketball game, while casually browsing the internet on the Wii U tablet. I played a little Mario during half-time of the basketball game. My friend came over and reccomended a Youtube video and with a quick few taps, we were watching it on the big screen laughing our asses off.

*That* is where I do feel the Wii U controller is different in it changes the relationship with the TV and game console. I'm not sure if its enough to sell people on a $350 piece of hardware, but I think honestly this is the console's most standout feature aside from the obvious "it plays Nintendo games".
