I can't say whether the WiiU is a piece of trash or not, but I do know that I am currently playing Need For Speed Most Wanted on it using the tablet as a motion controller, and it is the most fun I've had all year in gaming. THAT is the reason why I got a WiiU - not to just play the same old game with better resolution, but to actually have some fun.
In related news, I see NFS Rivals have bombed on the 360 and PS3 - I wonder if EA is now going to drop support for these platforms too?
