Well, I thought it was funny.

Seriously, though, I hope they aren't going to focus on low power consumption and a small form factor again.  I don't know about Japan but no one in the west cares about those things.

Well it looks like it might be a powerfull-ish console if we go by what Vena said: "N64, NGC (2nd/most powerfull consoles of their gen) are built in the states. The Wii is technically just two NGCs glued together." idk about the Wii U

Iwata has said more than once that making the Wii U smaller and lowering its power consumption were points of emphasis.  Now, you obviously don't want it drinking energy like water or coming in at the same size as the original Xbox, but I doubt either of those things were going to happen, anyway.  It's not like people buying game consoles are making their decisions based off how much juice they require.  

They just might want to emphasize OTHER console elements this time around.
