it is a real shame cause i like the gamepad concept however the lack of software to demonstrate its feature (other than off screen play) and to a smaller degree the lack of more modern tech in the console itself is the let down. Now i don't know if that is because they were so set on backwards compatibility and wanted to use the same ibm cpu as Wii and overclock it or they truly believed that the hardware would be enough. It all turned south when rumors started to surface about cpu no longer being a power 7 and gpu being downgraded.
In the end the console will have all these great games much like the gamecube but so little reward for it.
