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.

What Nintendo said in their PR is that it is a home console.  Yet, when speaking to investors they clearly speak to it as a portable.  That should mean to most people that they classify it as a portable, yet hope to grab some of the home console arena by clever marketing and the stand/charger setup.
