1. A tablet PC can not stream its content to your HD TV on its own.

2. A tablet PC can not interact with said TV.

3. A tablet PC is often more expensive.

4. A tablet has no Buttons and no Dual Analog Sticks for more comfortable gameplay.

Btw I love how everyone was like "OLOLOL Vita haz dual analog, 3DS is fucked!" and now people are like "Why I needz Upad when I haz iPad? Physical buttons? Dual Analogz? Pfft, big deal." Hypocrits as far as the eye can see.

Studies have shown that most people use the iPad at home.

No, you won't store music directly on the controller, but you can on the console. There will be apps for the Wii U. At the very least Youtube/Netflix/Facebook...etc. These will all be accessible on the tablet.

You can't really be the ignorant.

Yes, any game can be made on PC. but the thing about Microsoft and Sony is that they realized people prefer to game with a gamepad in front of an HDTV.
PC Gaming just isn't cool. You play Call of Duty on XBox? You are cool. On PC? NERD. This is the way it was in high school for me about 2 years ago. It hasn't changed.

The only thing "Toned-down" about PS360 games are its graphics. 

", in some cases giving companies the rights to disable your system from playing games, (you may argue that they rarely do this, but who in their right mind would passively agree to that?) and you just won't have as many options as you would have had with the game had it been on PC."

That's the thing though. PS3360 exclusives ARE NOT on PC.

lol wtf did I just read

1. We KNOW PS4 and 720 are in development. It's just common sense.

2. No one is ignoring Sony's financial troubles. The reason they freaked out over Nintendo is because they are a pure gaming company. The thing about them going 3rd party, yeah those are exaggeratins. Dont' take these analysts too seriously.

3. Xbox 360 sales in Japan are irrelvant. Why bring it up?

 lmao. So true. People complained about the DS touchscreen for so long, most of them obviously not having even tried it. They claimed that it was a "gimmick", despite that most games just used it for menus, and the games that did use it for gameplay did it well, I.E. Elite Beat Agents, The World Ends With You, etc.

Yet when Sony revealed that the Vita had a touchscreen, suddenly they started saying things like "Hm, well I can see how a touchscreen would be interesting!"

You really can't be this ignorant.

Yes, any game can be made on the PC. You cannot deny that, and were forced to admit it. But the thing is, Sony, Microsoft, and other companies  realized people prefer to game with a gamepad in front of an HDTV - and that's why those options are available on PC.

And thus, your entire argument shatters. Who is the ignorant one here again? I would say it's the person biased towards expensive restrictions.

I don't care about your personal life or personal perception of things. I care about the facts. And the fact is, people that think others are "nerds" for things like PC gaming never show their face in the real world because they know they have no argument. Every time my friends come over, we play games on my PC, on an HDTV, with 360 controllers, and none of them ever say "LOLOLOL NERD XDDD". Only someone like you would do that, because you can't stand someone not liking Sony / Microsoft. You just can't seem to handle the idea of someone not liking what you like, even when what you like just makes things more expensive and less fun.

And no, I just mentioned several advantages of PC gaming beyond the graphics. You know, you console kids really are funny. You claim you don't care about graphics, yet you pay more in order to have inferior graphics, and refuse to play anything with good graphics? Sorry to break it to you, but that's caring about graphics! You're perfectly content to run around screaming "LOL, THE WII IS FOR KIDS, SUCH SHITTY GRAPHICS!!! GRAPHICS ARE SO AWESOME" but then when someone says "But the PC has even better graphics", you switch your argument to "OH YEAH? WELL IT'S NOT ABOUT GRAPHICS!!! WHAT ARE YOU, A GRAPHICS WHORE?!"

And your last statement - Correct me if I'm wrong but are you literally denying the laws of supply and demand? Yes, the PS3 and 360 exclusives are not on PC - Because people won't allow them to be there. They obviously prefer paying more for them to be shittier.

Now is the idea of "paying more for a shittier product" something people do because they think it's BETTER SOMEHOW? Or do they do it out of ignorance and bias?

I think that Nintendo's sales losses can all be put down to consumer trend. The PS1 had a two-year head start on the N64, used a much more efficient storage method in the emerging CD, which drained the vast majority of N64's third-party support when they realized the games would not fit on a cartridge. The lack of games, along with a rather intimidating (but still awesome) controller probably scared a few people away.

PS2 on the other hand was the successor to an incredibly successful system, was a DVD player when the market for them was just hitting the mainstream and had huge third-party support. The fact that it was a DVD player alone probably drew in 50m+ of it's sales from people who thought "Hmm, I want a DVD Player, what? That thing not only plays Playstation games, but is also a DVD Player? INSTABUY." That's the reason I and many of my friends got PS2s and I'd imagine it was the same for many others.

I'd also be agreeing with a couple of people earlier in the thread, the N64 and the GCN did have arguably Nintendo's greatest games, but there was one glaring hole in their libraries: 2D Mario. Had 2D Mario been released in late 2003- early2004 with a whole "Return to your roots." sales pitch, I guarantee that they would have sold a few more million consoles and pushed Xbox into last place. Wii U already has a practically confirmed 2D Mario, so it is very unlikely it will come third.

The Wii U's gimmick will be a tablet that can interact with a TV & that plays Nintendo games.
