Still no links to these experts getting it wrong, thus I'm just going to say you are wrong.

1. No. How can they relate a touchpad to gaming, not "how can they relate to a touchpad".

2.But a 3DS looks 3D, that is unique. What is special about the WiiU? It looks the same, plays the same. It just has a pad that does nothing special.

3.Only if the other rivals are not low in price too. If they are, then what will the WiiU do then?

4.And are of what quality? Let me guess, same thing, different day, 7th gen graphics?

5.Yes, but so will the rivals.

6.Difference =/= good or better. 

I can't be bothered digging them up, as they've all been buried by similar articles about Wii U, but if you knew anything about the industry at the time you'd know it was considered common knowledge up until just before launch. Nintendo had been diminishing in sales since the 80s and the so-called "experts" said the trend would continue. I suggest you not place so much stock in what these people say. Think for yourself. Michael Pachter is an "expert" and his inaccuracy is legend.

1. People plays games on their touch phones/pads.

2. The pad can do many things that are special. And it certainly does not look the same as the Wii, or play the same as any other console.

3. 8GB RAM and the kind of CPUs/GPUs alleged to be in PS4 and Nextbox don't come cheap. The Wii U will be able to undercut them.

4. The top-tier quality that Nintendo consistently proves itself capable of producing.

5. See 3.

6. To many people, it will be. Different means less direct competition and hence less lost sales.
