I'm confused by the Wii U

CURRENTLY, its tied to the system. However, the base is there and they directly stated that eventually you will be able to use that NNID on other hardware and likely among different WiiU's.

Thanks, that's good news. I'm not too worried about it now, it's just something I'll probably need in the future. I'm still trying to get my head around the profile thing though. If the saves aren't connected to each profile, and the IDs are attached to the system, what changes when you switch profile (other than your Mii)?

Saves can be tied to the profile. That's based on the game, not the console/OS.

When you change profiles, all of your settings, app settings, home layout, game saves, etc all change to what that user has. Its definitely designed to be a true multi-user system.
