I think some of you need to stop being hypocrites, you've been drooling all over the last of us and halo 4 graphics for months now, the Wii U will easily surpass those. It will not stop looking good just because PS4 will produce better graphics :/

I wish Nintendo just dropped the whole pad idea and just released an affordable (or at least profitable) Wii 2 with similar specs to Wii U. While the Pad idea is attractive to me (I don't have a tv atm lol) it certainly isn't attracting people. Meh.

Post Gamecube, Nintendo seeks ways to differentiate itself without going down the rathole of MOUR POWA!  Without the pad, Nintendo has nothing to compete with.  Coming in with just marginally more powerful than current generation just isn't going to cut it.  Do you think the Wii without motion control would of done squat?

I think Wii motion controls are SO good that it could've continued selling without adding anything to it, Wii U could've been a better Wii and it would've been percieved better, just add better graphics, better percision, and a  better sensor to generate a kinect like experience for some games while keeping the controllers for Wii like games.
