I don't want to say how happy I am from a Sony fan's perspective, but I'm very happy from a sony fan's perspective.

I applaud Nintendo for taking a risk and innovating with the Wii U however, and while I wish more success for the Ps4, I believe Nintendo can and will be quite successful this year with the Wii U. 3D world shows what the console is capable of.

As a Sony fan you liked the Wii more than the WiiU?

More like next 4 months, because fiscal year ends march 2014.

Still unrealistic.

Games wise yes. Super Smash bros brawl remains my self-claimed best local multiplayer game of all time, and both Galaxy games/zelda games were great. Haven't played 3 world yet but the Wii U librairy isn't quite up to the Wii yet (obviously only being a year out).

But the main thing is the gamepad. It's bulky and unattractive for me. Also seems clunky. The Wii motes were smaller and easier to handle/control. So while the gamepad still innovates greatly, it's not for me.
