Posts like this clearly show who hasn't tried a Wii U yet. "It's expensive" If $300-350 is expensive, then that's bad news for the PS4/Durango. I know their prices will be justified by the more state-of-the-art tech under the hood, but try that argument with any average person on the street. You can't get into teraflops and tessalation and GBs per second with the vast majority of gamers; most people don't understand, don't care or both. "it's range is limited" Of course it's range is limited; it's synced to a console plugged in the wall. What, did you expect to take it on a road trip or something? I can tell you from firsthand experience that it's range is longer than you're giving it credit for. I've taken the Gamepad into a bedroom or to the crapper to play a game many times now without a hitch, and those are at least 15-20 feet away from the console itself and with a wall in between. Can you do that with any other home console? If you need anything longer than that, then isn't that what the 3DS and Vita are for? "it is outdated" Not only is this not true, but even if it was, it hardly matters to the vast majority of consumers as long as the games are there. Refer to my first paragraph. The DS was "outdated" next to the PSP, the 3DS is "outdated" next to the Vita, and the Wii is definitely "outdated" next to PS3 and 360. 360 and PS3 are "outdated" next to Wii U. Why are all the "outdated" consoles the ones that kicked the most ass? "Everybody nowadays got a smartphone or a tablet, when those people are introduced to the Wii Us single touch, resistive display they will just laugh their asses off and get an iPad Mini or something for the same money." Yeah, screw those cursed tactile buttons on the controller! Who the heck wants REAL buttons? Wouldn't it be so awesome you had to use virtual controls for every game just like an iPad? I sure do love my Mega Man and Street Fighter controls on my touchscreen-only iPad. Covering half the screen with your fat hands or trying to stare at a TV while groping flat-surfaced controller is the REAL way to game! "The resoultion is straight from the mid 90s and the image quality also lacks in so many ways." Again, you clearly haven't played a Wii U game or you just have your mind up to hate the console. The image quality on the small screen is as sharp as the 32" HDTV that I mostly play the Wii U on. Go back and actually play a game from the 90s and then play a Wii U game off TV. Either that, or go find proof for your baseless argument.
I told myself I'm through being the white knight for games and consoles that trolls attack with no good reasoning behind it, but I couldn't help myself today. It seems like everyone making these kind of ad hominem attacks on the Wii U are people that haven't really played it, otherwise they couldn't make such arguments. There are plenty of things to dislike about the Wii U; the software drought, the lack of solid release dates for upcoming titles, the ridiculous loat times in the OS, two-Gamepad play being impossible right now, the inconvenience of having to acquire more memory for full retail downloads. But play the freaking thing before you try to spout nonsense about problems that don't exist.

Best. Post. Ever. What's even more unbelievable is that people are sounding the death knell after just 4 months (during which time the Wii U has had a 2 month software drought) and after only 2 first party titles have been released...and even worse people are expecting the PS4 and 720 to fly off shelves at launch, to continue to fly off shelves during the launch window, not to experience the exact same software drought that has hit EVERY SINGLE CONSOLE IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY and to continue flying off shelves AFTER the launch window when we're in the middle of the worst worldwide recession seen in donkey's years.
This time next year is going to be very amusing lol.
