Just remember, the iPad is going to set you back about $150 more than a WiiU and will be replaced by a better model in a year.

Seriously though, it should be about the games and all this Microsoft presser wanted to make me do was get a new laptop for home before I got stuck with W8.

in today's market?    ...probably means you're too broke ass poor to own a console.  who's phone isn't on IOs, android, or window mobile now-a-days?!?

No. SmartGlass looked very slow and cumbersome. I don't believe in SmartGlass one bit.

One thing I wouldn't do is count against Microsoft. Last year from March to March, they were the only game company to make money, and they only been in the field 11 years. They have the money, the advertising expertise and with this year most likely being the best for tablet sales, should be able to utilize that to their advantage. Making the Wii U irrelevant? No, but people really cant be dismissive of microsoft, that's the wrong thing to do.

editing to mention working accross all mobile platforms (Sans Blackberry), not only specific to tablets.

can you even play xbox games using your tablet with that glass shit?? if no, I don't think so

not irrelevant, but redundant.

like i just said to busted -- i really really large part of the world already has a compatiable device and those that don't won't be buying a console either...

MS did done do it right by supporting all platforms.  i've got two iphones already (3 if you count that of my wife's).   so you just remember -- already bought and purchased is probably a good $300 cheaper than a wii U.  as far as being better in a year -- that's fucking right it will!  and the wii U won't...that's a huge part of what i like about the mobile market ... things are actually getting better instead of stagnated for 6-7 years at a time.

you obviously missed the part where they were playing madden (is was madden right?) via their tablet exactly in the same way a wii U game would be played... 

Can you please link a photo to your new smartphone or tablet. I am shocked! guess you are the first person whom has actual buttons on such device.

A big no. Microsoft made themself irrelevant.
