Way too sexy... but my gf is gonna mistake it for a external dvd writer for my macbook air.. I can hear her whining already... "it won't read the dvddddddd...."

As Miyamoto said, they tried to make the console as discreet as possible.

It worked. It's cool and sleek, but the star here is the pad

I just noticed how small the console is.

It's tiny!

Looks gud :P

Here's the actual quote by Mr. M.

"Similarly with Wii U, when we [considered the question] ‘What is the face of Wii U going to be?', for us the face of Wii U really isn't the console box itself. It's the controller; it's the Wii U GamePad. So just like a set top box is non-descript and tucked away, our feeling was that the Wii U hardware was something that could be tucked away and out of sight.

That thing is tiny!

and now please pics from inside

That's sexy!

looks like it on most pics but not on this:
