Wii U: If You'd Designed the Wii U, How Would You Make it More Appealing as a system/SKU?

#1: Get rid of that stupid, awkward, clunky tablet controller. This alone would also solve several other problems with the system...

#2: Make it more powerful. Now that there's no expensive tablet required, we can spend a bit more on the inner workings of the console so that it's not a generation behind again.

#3: Design the system so that it doesn't look EXACTLY LIKE THE WII. This will also help to clear up the confusion that still persists among general consumers and casuals who aren't sure if the "Wii U" is just a peripheral for the Wii or not.

#4: Launch the system with games that don't look like Wii games in HD. It's REALLY hard trying to sell a new console to serious gamers when you're charging more money than current gen consoles, and the games you're launching with look WORSE than on current gen consoles.

#5: Change the name. Words cannot describe how stupid the "Wii U" name is, how it sounds, and why anyone thought this was a brilliant idea is still a mystery.

Do all those things, launch the console at $299, give it an online infrastructure that doesn't suck and also doesn't feel like its a generation (or two) behind, and for God sakes give the damn thing more internal storage than what a typical $10 USB thumb drive has these days.

From all the nonsense above, i'll just conter this: Wii u games look much better than "Wii titles in HD" and ps4/xone titles are barely ps360 in 1080p.

Nintendo Land and NSMBU both say hi.  Drop the resolution to 480p on them and presto, you have two Wii games.

And you really need to get your eyes checked if you are comparing games like Forza 5, Ryse, Killzone 4, MGS 5 etc to what is currently available on PS360.
