If this is NA only, Nintendo can go do one.

If it's world-wide (or UK related) then Nintendo has my attention

I think "tvii" is great, but it is not gaming, so It factors in in a very small way when I consider the value of WiiU.

seems cool, but this only seems to be useful in the usa. does this cost anything?

I thought it was awesome and especially because they are throwing it all in for free.

The reason nobody is talking about it should be fairly obvious. This isn't Nintendo trailblazing. This is just Nintendo catching up to the competition. We are talking about a standard feature that is fundamentally universal. Every player in the console market does this with their own little tweaks. Anyone with a 360 or a PS3 already has this experience today. The bells and whistles aren't even that compelling.

For example people that watch shows and movies on consoles typically do so, because they want to get away from cable providers. They don't want to put up with the commercials, and who can blame them. The advertiser typically wants to annoy you, depress you, or scare you. In other words they want to make you miserable in some way. So they can profit from that misery. Who wants to be told that they are diseased, a failure, and ugly to boot. That is ninety percent of what is on tap, and the other ten percent is a sad commentary on society, or a song that is just catchy enough to get trapped in your skull for days.

doesn't cost anything to use it but you'd have to pay for netflix, or hulu plus, etc etc, it's basically a nice looking social hub for online tv services.

its not all that, IMHO. its not bad cool little thing to have but nothing to go gaga over, all those services are available on multiple devices. You cant really take advantage of it outside the home as for it interacting with other people, i didnt care about Netflix doing that on 360 and i wont care about it doing it on Wii U, if im watching a show im not trying to talk to anyone

I have no idea what you are talking about in the second paragraph but I think Nintendo TVii looks quiet a step above the competition in experience other than the obvious catching up part, I'm talking as consoles by themselves of course. I would still prefer a media PC with a tablet control if we are talking about it in a people have unlimited money situation since you could always do more, I just think that the included tablet control is making it such a good looking experience at that price range that I was actually impressed by it.

ok cool. so tell me what does xbox live offer that this nintendoTv doesnt? dont want to start a flame bate or anything but just want to know thats all.
