The lack of analogue triggers is a real killer for some games. I much prefer playing Need for speed most wanted on ps3 than my wii u because of lack of analogue triggers. A very cheap move by Nintendo. They put a NFC chip in the gamepad but skimped on essential features. I've also witnessed a small child in a store struggling with the size of the gamepad which surely if anything the wii u is aimed at a younger audience. I honestly believe a revised wii u will come out with a smaller gamepad and screen, in fact the console itself is fine its just the gamepad that needs updating. The touchpad screen is fantastic though, a brilliant feature. The size of it was the mistake. If they had put a smaller screen in, they could have afforded analogue triggers and it would have increased battery life.

The xbox one not only has analogue triggers but they have added individual rumble to them so when using different guns for example it can have different kickback. Great feature.

General quality of the gamepad is good and the screen quality is great. Battery life is slightly annoying to the point I now just leave the charging cable in so its not really a wireless controller.
