LoL. Dude we're talking about Videogames, not Slavery.

Of course I compare Wii U to the Wii, the Wii made sense, the Wii U does not. Its not a matter of learning to understand its relevance, its a matter of it being repulsive to the majority of gamers. The Wii U has no identity. It doesn't appeal to many former Wii owners, and its not appealing to the 360/PS3 owners either.

Software sells hardware, but then the question becomes which software will do that for Wii U; and since the controller is tied to this system where is the software that sells the Gamepad? I don't think they have any especially when many games play better with the Wii Mote Nunchuck combo, or a pro controller. We've been through this quite a bit of times lol.

But it is what it is.

What Its a comparison on people's mindsets. And to be honest fanboyism is but of an extension of that particular mindset.

Like I said, WiiU makes sense for what it was made to do. One. Make sure they dont end up in a situation where a third party's game literally cant run on the WiiU. Two create software that breaks barriers. Wii Party U I suspect will try to fufill the role Wii Sports did. 3. Unify its playerbase and your living room and take a backseat to the main center of the stage. The GamePad. Now they just need to full bake their ideas with TVii and continually update the consoles featureset.

As you can see 2/3 of the machine is missing at the moment so of course it makes no bloody sense to the consumer who already has a preconceived about the damn thing already.

Stuff like the streetpass games did for the 3DS. Now all the 3DS needs is more games, and more consoles sold so it can hit critical mass in the next two years.

Nintendo Co.7974.TO -0.77% has ended production of the Wii flagship console for the Japanese market. Best known for upstaging its more powerful rivals with a lower-tech but more fun approach, the Wii is survived by the Wii U, Wii minis sold abroad, and the Nintendo 3DS handheld.

Code named “Revolution” during development, the Wii arrived on Nov. 19, 2006, amid derision from gaming critics and hard-core gamers. “What’s wrong with ‘Revolution’?” Nintendo fans said. “Urine big trouble, Nintendo,” the Dallas Morning News’s tech writer snarked in a four-paragraph play on the scatological possibilities of the name, after Nintendo announced the first details of the console. Sales soon proved wrong the naysayers and those lamenting the death of Nintendo.

Featuring a simple and intuitive game controller shaped like a TV remote, the Wii represented Nintendo’s decision to bow out of the game tech arms race, in which  Sony6758.TO +0.73% Corp. and  MicrosoftMSFT -1.17% Corp. were competing to generate the most powerful graphics. The inability to support high-definition TV graphics meant the Wii could retail at half the price of the spec-heavy Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

In the end, the father of Super Mario and Donkey Kong proved that hardware counted, but content mattered more.

The Game Pad is the Wii U's "waggle controls".

Except it doesnt need to wait for Motion Plus to come out^
As from a system conducting standpoint it works as intended.

People however dont want to pay for something they have second thoughts about. Especially when they have the idea in their head that its expensive. Preconceived notions like that can stick with them but they can be dealt with by providing overwhelming evidence as to the contrary. Its up to Nintendo to establish this

Only 3 more days. The WiiU revolution will begin, and the gloriousness of the Upad will be enjoyed by the millions and millions XD
