Next gen offers not much except for graphics

I really don't like the controls argument. Pads are evolving but basically stay the same, because noone had come with a better idea how to control a wide variety of games in a comfortable way. Pads are the best solution, why change that only for the sake of innovation. 

Nintendo "innovated" with controls this gen, and that's only a turn off for me, if they would be so convinced that the gamepad is better in every way, they wouldn't come up with the Pro Controller. The not so very overwhelming demand for the Wii U shows, that changing for the sake of changing may not be the way to go. I'm not saying controlls are the only reason for Wii U's lackluster sales, but Wii is where it is sales-wise in a big part thanks to the groundbreaking controll scheme. Motion controlls did not appear to be better in the long run, but what has been sold, is sold.

Blablablablabla. In a world where options are considered a value, where everything can be done in a variety of ways, here we are saying that the U padlet is no good because there is also an option for a pro controller.

Options are gud. Some people prefer the padlet, others the pro, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with Nintendo catering to as many tastes as possible and leaving people the choice. Sony doesn't give people the choice, because it doesn't have the same variety of tastes in its user base, for a million reasons (their clientele doesn't need anything else than what they are given).

I don't know why I even bother with you but there it goes. I'm not saying the gamepad is bad because there is other option, I say it's worse because it's less ergonomical then the Pro Controller and doesn't add much different value to the gameplay. There is assimetric local multiplayer which may be cool if used properly and the rest, mostly gimmicks or things that could have as well be on the TV screen. The part about Sony is jibber jabber, some words not making much sense.
