Nintendo - Wii U as a Tablet - View Post

Thick, limited to your house, resistive screen, low resolution, bad battery life. You can grab a Nexus 7 for US$ 200 that will give a capacitive 1920 x 1200 screen, quad core CPU, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB of storage and hundreds of thousands of apps.

Let's be honest, just the screen specs are a deal killer. It wasn't made for that, so it simply isn't adequate to most things people do. Who would want to replace an iPad or Android tablet with a device with resistive screen at 854 x 480 and only gets 5 hours of use? It won't display text or video with the quality people expect this days.
