Lol. You did not even attempt to dispute my facts. Nor did you answer my question. How do you work for this site? And I remember predicting Wii U before ANYONE! People said I was stupid, wrong, or would be disappointed. I was none of those things.

Mad penmanship, yo! And bribery.

I'm being on my best behavior lol. The only fact is that Nintendo already said what it is. A home gaming device. Nintendo didn't say it was a third pillar. They said it was a home gaming device. If you're disappointed that you're not being forced to keep it at home, then I'm sorry you feel that way. If you're disappointed that this is what Nintendo chose to replace the Wii U with, then I'm sorry that this is the product that disappointed you. But this product wasn't made to replace the 3DS. It was made to redefine gaming platforms. Making a home console portable does that.

I am in no way disappointed with this product. Not at all. I am probably going to own two (one for me and one for the girlfriend) but most definitely will own one.

If you do not think a console that has all of its processing in the hand held unit, uses mobile technology, cartridges, is being released in March (instead of near holiday), and gains nothing more than a tv out from the docking station is a home console, then I hate to see how you would label my oven since I use it to toast my bread.

I called this console being a hand held and was slaughtered for it. Now, the people that are afraid to admit I was correct will run from me, slam me, or try to discredit me. I do my work, I pay attention, and most importantly, I do not post bullshit. I get that you disagree with me, but the simple truth is, as I stated with my example of Nintendo saying DS was not replacing Game Boy (third pillar lol), this console is (when broken down) a hand held with awesome features. It is not a hybrid, and it is most definitely not a home console. To think someone that writes for a website would not pay attention enough to see this is laughable. Maybe this site could use one more contributor. Maybe someone with a wider array of knowledge and understanding of progression instead of limited and arbitrary views of the present... or maybe someone with the sensibility to know better than to respond to a person that he knows has the drop on him. Again I see you refused to talk to me on the merit of my debate points. I did you a favor and gave you more argument points to worry about refuting. Better work hard because every article you write that I read, I will be paying close attention.

As I stated once before, I love this console. I am a Nintendo die hard fan (born in '82 and own every major Nintendo console ever produced... even a Virtual Boy) so when I speak on this topic, do not think I am saying these things from a place of disinterest or pain. I love what I am seeing, but I do not see Nintendo bowing out of the dedicated home console realm yet. Especially not with a hand held that can do video out. We all know they would need to do better than that.
