Wii U and its potential

Is it next gen? Well right now it has one game that is next gen, in ZombiU. The rest of the games could easily be done on PS3 Xbox360.

Right now no one is really using the gamepad well, other than Ubi with ZombiU. I think if more uses can be found for the gamepad that actually benefit gameplay, then yes the Wii U will be next gen.

I think Miiverse is next gen, and is something different and unique.

In short, some parts of it are next gen, and some parts aren't. I haven't seen anything that really shows off it's potenti

Really enjoy Zombi U, but my kids are hogging the system to play Scribblenauts, Super Mario U and Nintendoland.  I dont play games often now, but I sometimes turn on Miiverse just to see them shuffle around and also catch some really amazing artwork from some players.  If kids serve as a good indication, Lego City Undercover seems to be high on their list.  Nintendoland also got them interested in Pikmin.

The Gamepad is under rated.  Google maps might be a surprising hit.  My wife wants me to "tour" the streets before we book hotels once it comes out.
