I agree with the OP guy.

Wii U gamepad was a bad, really bad choice for games.

Oh man. I didnt think to open my controller up. LOL. (serious)

I uuse recharheable batery pack on 360. only been through 2 so far. only 10 quid.

You can place the PS3 battery, plus I would consider the PS4 automatically being able to charge an advantage over the XBO not having a charger with the console.

Lol.

You can't knock down a wii u type gamepad and then brush off the similarities between it and smartglass.

He perfectly summed why the gamepad is very polarising and a questionable investment by Nintendo.

How is Kinect beneficial to core gameplay? that is the question, microsoft.

Not really. The Wii U controller is great for maps, and off tv play. I wouldnt want it any other way.

I know it's a petty thing but at this point in time controllers should have chargeable battery packs as a standard. Pretty sad that $100m went into the tech and we aren't even at that.

Some peole really love dance games and kids love Kinect Adventures. Ever considered that?

It still the best and most successful movement sensor in the gaming market

eh, I think the general public is still pretty split on what they like more.  I know a lot of people really liked that the 360 took AA batteries when I worked at best buy.  I don't really care, as I invested a long time ago in a ton of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries for my house.  Like people have said earlier, it may be more convenient to have the battery built into the controller, but if that built in battery stops holding a charge, it is pretty hellish to replace.  I had that happen with one of my ps3 controllers, but it was a controller from before they put the rumble back in so I just bought a new one.
