The more I try the Wii U, the less appealing it becomes to me. What am I missing?

So you play one game that interests you.. admit it's good.. and then complain about the controller.. and tried some other games just to complain about the controller and how it is used?? I would try this.. play the games I enjoy on the system... and then decide what the appeal of the system as a whole is... not set here and say.. oh the controller isn't being used in a way I like.. so the system as a whole has no appeal to me.. the appeal for any system is based off the games for most people.. as far as the controller.. off screen play is a draw and appeal for a lot of people.. and the different views you get in W101 on the controller from the TV when you do puzzles appeals to a lot of people..what it does in Zombie U appeals to a lot of people... and adding a touchscreen to a lot of games.. manages to appeal to a lot of people.. along with other capabilities.. the Wii U was not met for you.. if it does not appeal to you.. just because of a controller... that is all.. but I have a feeling it's because you are to worried about what the controller is supposed to do.. (Or what you think you would like it to do) instead of actually just laying back and enjoying the games.. whether the controller does a lot or very little for that game.. and that is why you find no appeal in it..
