Some of those points are quite valid, but all the tv, print and online journalism I've read is ill informed or misguided. For instance a BBC reporter slated the Wii U by saying that the resistive touch screen felt decididly 5 years old. Ok, it is old technology but Ninty have a reason for it, it maked drawing on the gamepad easier than a capacitive touch screen, try drawing on the gamepad then an iOS device and you'll see what I mean. Don't even get me strarted on so called tech reporters in newspapers, the British 'The Sun' tabloid is the main culprit. They said that people shouldn't buy the 3DS, but no one listened to them abd it's doing ok now.

I have an iPhone 5 and it seems like more thought has gone into it's design. If Ninty stop making hardware it will be a sad day, but like you say I have $9.99 (Ninty will probably charge way more though) waiting for Super Mario iOS!
