Microsoft's big weapon against the WiiU gamepad is an iPad. it is not going to make anything irrelevant

No. That means that people buy gaming systems to play games on it. Be it Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or the Pope. If Microsoft launches an eight cores, dual sticks, four shoulder buttons, back touch panel and front capacity touch screen with 3D output portable game device it means that the Vita is irrelevant? No. Because I want to play Uncharted, Gravitity Rush, LBP and killzone on my handheld.  

I'm not sure what 'irrevelant' means. Or that the WiiU is even relevant yet.

Definitely, the wii u tablet is doa. Microsoft just made your glass- smart, that's crazy yo! and you're gonna be able to control netflix and stuff. no way wii u tablet can top that...

Is the wii still relevant?

Not now. I thought that it would be obvious that I was talking about them when the Kinect first came out.

The wii wasnt revelant then either, it was suffering massive year on year declines and 6 months away from a wii u announcement.

I still don't know what the hell smart glass is. Is it an app you download or a new window 8 tablet I have to buy to use it. What ever it is it looks lame. And it makes things more confusing. Seeing how you have to switch between a my ipad, my android phone, or what ever they use it plus kinect and a controller. Why the hell do I want to confuse myself. Wii u makes all that easy. And it actually is made to play games with out switching between the 30 ways microsoft wants you to.

I don;t really get what you mean. The WiiU's tablet controller is available for every wiiU console and its features are available for every wiiU user the. The smartglass seems mor elimited in that you need to have a seerate device, but equal in that alot of people  have those devices so it equals out in a way. 

True, people still bought the Wii, though. Especially during the Holiday. (And it wasn't small numbers, either.)
