My apologies viper - you must have posted that after I began my post.  I didn't see it.

Read it now.   You're correct, he's not suggesting it'll pose any threat to PS4/720 but I still think he's willfully or neglectly (is that a word?) oblivious to the fact that WiiU isn't doing anything that won't be commonplace in a very short amount of time.  It's going to seem very dated by end of 2014 and that's a big problem.

Willfully neglecting or willfully obvlivious is what I believe you are trying to say. (Willfully ignorant is another)

However, it's neither given that his comments were all encompassing of devices capable ot offering second screen functionality.

He wouldn't say, "I feel a device like Wii U..." if he meant, "Only Wii U".

The gist is that people will want a second interactive screen to do secondary actions.   To this I agree, my step-son does this now with TV/tablet (watching the game and browsing the internet / msging friends).     Having this functionality will help WiiU seem relevant longer but WiiU can neither compete with the power of 720/PS4 or the vast amount of apps/games on Android/iOS.   So if everybody is doing the same thing, WiiU loses.

I love Nintendo but WiiU looks like it'll have even worse 3rd party support than Wii.  In many cases I'd prefer to play a game with Wii motion controls over the dual analog (still dislike dual analog controllers) but WiiU's gamepad's second screen really adds nothing to 3rd party games, so I'll never get a WiiU for anything other than Nintendo games (I can watch TV/movies/internet/play games, etc. on tablet if I want portability) and if that's all I'm getting it for, it's hard to justify the purchase - not just the cost but having another, mostly unnecessary, piece of tech kicking around.    It's looking more and more likely I'll wait for Wii3 and just get any good games WiiU had to play on it.
