The Wii U is trash...

I got one for a ridiculous price and I am still disappointed.

Ok, maybe trash is too strong a word, but it is not great.

The hardware has many shortcomings.  Not only is the CPU/GPU weak, I found the following deficiencies:

-there is no onboard LAN port
who cares

 -it does not support HDMI-CEC (and therefore my sound system)
who cares
-there is very little onboard storage, so forget going digital
No, get a 32gb usb drive they are 8$.

-the OS is horribly slow
Ok, you get 1 point
-the online store prices are ridiculous
Yes, you're not obliged to buy them.
-there is no shared wallet system between the 3DS
Fair but not a show-stopper
-you cannot charge your controllers through the built-in USB ports while the consoel is in standby
who cares
-when doing system updates you get no progress updates so you think your system has frozen
not really
-the drive keeps giving me random disc-read errors
not me
-the fan is loud (maybe my console is a dud, who knows)
probably
That is what annoyed me in the first week of ownership.
Sounds like you care about useless things

 

I can also add that the gamepad also has a horrible battery life.

Video games are useless things, so yes I do care about useless things.

I don't think I am alone in my opinions either.  The hardware just feels like a console from 2006, and it is not priced low enough to be someone's second console (or to forgive its shortcomings).  The hardware annoyances also push me to get any multiplatform games on other consoles.
