Some analyst said TVii is nice to have but will not be a reason to buy the Wii U.
The analysts are wrong as always. Once the Wii U got in some living room and other people saw TVii they will want it too, the name Wii will do the rest.
It will be a big selling point in US.
It does look cool, but will it be coming to the UK at launch? Will it be compatable with Sky, IPlayer, Netflix, LoveFilm etc.? If it is, then I'm excited. But I really doubt it.
Impressive yes but as i am not American or Canadian it has little to do with the reason I'm purchasing a WiiU
This is the Game of Thrones
Where you either win
or you DIE

Yep.
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
I was impressed... but i am having a feeling it will be only a US/Canada release... i bet it wont come out in Australia anytime soon.
You can add Nintendo to the growing list of companies that for one reason or another can't release their full service/product outside of America (Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Sony...).
| Dodece said: @dahuman Tablets, Tablets, We don't need no stinking Tablets. Have you forgotten that the 360 can be operated via voice, or with simple hand gestures. I literally don't need any controller to watch movies on my 360. Your extolling this all as being a virtue. When it is entirely superfluous, and may in practice be counter productive. That controller isn't very practical at all. It is a large, requires two hands to use, and must be referenced via the eyes. That controller is just a lot of needless clutter. Who wants to use a interface to watch movies that requires the use of both hands. Plus requires you to look at it. When standard television remotes can be operated by feel, and the same goes for standard game controllers. The input is basically simultaneous. Where as the Wii U controller is going to be more time consuming. It all comes across as a device forcibly justifying its own existence. That screen is just getting in the way of what is already a seamless experience. What Nintendo needs to be doing is using that interface for video manipulation at a more profound level. Children should be using it to do math problems while viewing educational programing, and adults should be using it to play games overlaid on top of television shows. We don't need a more complicated television remote. If that is the only case being made. Then it shows that Nintendo is just copying everyone else. Worse it seems like they are straying from one of the cooler ideas that they had going for them. Namely that you could play games, and watch television at the same time. I mean the 360 can still run live in the background. So why can't the machine play games, and stream movies at the same time. It is a newer device after all. |
The tablet makes it streamlined than Xbox 360 (not "complicated") and very social. The masses are going to love it. Also, the system has 1 GB RAM dedicated to the OS. It can absolutely let you stream movies while playing games. Nothing in the OP or YT video said otherwise.
"Have you forgotten that the 360 can be operated via voice, or with simple hand gestures."
"It is a large, requires two hands to use, and must be referenced via the eyes."
"Children should be using it to do math problems while viewing educational programing, and adults should be using it to play games overlaid on top of television shows."
You're desperately looking for any lame reason you can to put this down.
It's better than what XBL and PSN Entertainment offers in many ways and it's free. Deal with it.

Sports!
