I'm well aware of that, are you aware their functions are practically identicle 0_o

(have you even picked up either)

Now, in fairness, I think the Wii U controller is probably going to be a lot closer in functionality to traditional game pads.

Yes, it has the screen, but the screen is relatively easy to deal with and doesn't require significant investment. Throw a world/area map on there, Bethesda. Done. It doesn't present quite the same problems as trying to integrate motion controls and the IR pointer.

Isn't the touch screen on the Wii U resistive? I always hated those kinds of touch screens personally and they better make the hardware decent or people will just stick joysticks on the iPad 4 and say that the graphics are just as good!

Nintendo touchscreens are probably going to continue to be resistive, at least partially because resistive touch screens are more accurate in a smaller area.

But you have podgy fingers anyway.

I don't get it with the whole unique controller thing. Once again, Pacther is blinded by his Nintendo hate with his "limited third party launch support". Seem very simple to me. The controller will have the menu's while leaving the TV clutter free. This template was laid by Nintendo with the Zelda demo.

Originally it was going to be compatible with only one controller. But Nintendo been said that they were reworking the Wii U so that it would be compatible with more than one tablet. 

Yes, he is a shill for third parties.  He basically admitted to it with something he said a year or two ago.  There was a thread about it on this website that I know I posted in.  I might search for it later.

As for the discussion on the Wii U controller, it will be easy for third parties to use.  It is just a standard controller with a touch screen in the middle.  Third parties have no excuse.

Now here's something that's thrown in left field and it came from Patcher... :P

We can all agree that pachter doesnt know much about gaming. 3DS is a sucess and the Wii U will be just fine and will more than cater for its wii audience
