Agreed, I just also appreciate new ways to play my games. Streamlining the experience to where I don't have to keep pausing the game to manage equipment and items or change loadouts by allowing me to manage these things on the fly with the gamepad is definitely where the future of video games will be. The only problem for systems outside of the Wii U is while Xbone and PS4 may have different ways that CAN use this functionality, it's something that will rarely if ever be used due to taking more development time to get these functions to work and work well. It's easy to create a console that is powerful, but finding a way to change the way we play games for the better is seemingly impossible, which is why the dual shock and Xbox controller is practically the same after 4 gens. If people can't see the value of the gamepad that's fine, most haven't really experienced it yet. But they will, it's the next step in gaming like Nintendo mainstreamed motion controls.
