I gave you technical reasons. It doesn't matter if you use them or not, a lot of people do and it was a common source of frustration. You are giving only your personal opinion about each feature. I listed things with patches promissed because the patch isn't out or have a date. If I go to a store, buy a Wii U and it breaks and gets replaced on warranty, I'm screwed. About 3DS and NNID you can't have more than one 3DS activated per NNID. I'm not talking about having more than one account per 3DS, even because the other handheld avaiable, Vita, doesn't have it (and I would want a patch for that). Invites outside of games? It's not unusual to be playing and get an invite to play a game with a friend, so sometimes I just want to follow. Cross game chatting is great because I can call everyone for a party and ask who wants to play and what they want to play. I'm sick of combining TLOU online matches (specially private matches with clans) using text messages on PS3. I'm usually playing an online match and I have to hide on some spot in the map to try sending a message without giving the enemy a free kill. Normally I will use the Vita or an Android device with PSN app, but still is a pain and I have to stop playing.
Another thing that shows how you are taking your personal preferences as a global fact is the numbers of friends. You have 40? Ok. I have 140 on PSN. When I started playing TLOU online I added several local players and I play regularly with all of them. When I get online with my headset, there will always be someone online to play (if you want to play TLOU online for real, you have to face real clans where the real players are). The big problem is that PSN raised the limit to 2000 and patched all consoles. While PS4 and Vita shows up to 2000 friends, the PS3 can't. It shows only 100, priorizing the online friends. But it doesn't works correctly and several times it doesn't shows players that are online and it sucks big time.

I gave my opinion on it because they are general opinions. Not just personal ones. You're just personally pissed that not all experiences are the same. Spoiled imho. Nothing you stated was technical, I asked a simple question, and I pre-warned that I was going to refute it. You shouldn't jump off the handle when I gave you pre-warning.
"It doesn't matter if you use them or not, a lot of people do and it was a common source of frustration"
A lot of people don't use them, and the way you described them as they clan type features. If you want clans on consoles then I suggest you just not buy Nintendo products. Only one game series has "clans" and that's the only shooter that appears on the console.
" I listed things with patches promissed because the patch isn't out or have a date. "
And last I recall a patch was not promised for any account features. More account related items are up for future consideration, but their next platform is guarenteed to not be using a tied to console feature.
"If I go to a store, buy a Wii U and it breaks and gets replaced on warranty, I'm screwed."
You're not screwed, don't do store warrenty duh. Doesn't even matter if console breaks out of warrenty, spend 100 bucks have system repaired by Nintendo. Your items and accounts should all be transfered to that wii u ( you'll have to redownload items obviously).
"About 3DS and NNID you can't have more than one 3DS activated per NNID. I'm not talking about having more than one account per 3DS, even because the other handheld avaiable, Vita, doesn't have it (and I would want a patch for that). "
That's even dumber of a thought now that you explained it. The NNID on 3DS/2DS are mainly to facilitate online and unified wallets. What you are suggesting is the same NNID on multiple 3DSes, which ties exactly in to a comment above I made regarding accounts. One 3DS, One Wii U per NNID. At least purchases from eshops are tied to club Nintendo account and your NNID too. As someone who has worked in databases, I would have given you multiple middle fingers by now if such a system was even attempted to be implemented.
" Invites outside of games? It's not unusual to be playing and get an invite to play a game with a friend, so sometimes I just want to follow."
You didn't even mention that so do even bring that up. Again, pointless because why would you need an invite out of game to join a friend in another game. Just go in to that game, and join them. practically every damn Nintendo online title has this ability to join your friends without even having an invite.
"Cross game chatting is great because I can call everyone for a party and ask who wants to play and what they want to play.

You sound like a very late PS3 adopter. It's a feature I lived without and haven't found a need for. Who's bringing in personal experiences now? Many people do not use this, just clans from what I can tell. Even the idea of clans is stupid to me, but that's another story. I'm not very apologetic to people who stop their game to chat, I'm sure you can wait til inbetween rounds or use headsets. This is pretty damn standard, even on the Wii U

This is your own experience that you are describing, don't be a hypocrite. I haven't had a need for more than 40ish friends on my PSN, people who just don't sign on for 1-2 years? yeah I'm deleting them because it's a waste of bandwidth loading thier icons. The problem I have now with your response is that it's not well thought out. It's just the ramblings of a clan player who wants clan features on a console that isn't particularly clan orientated. Some things are legitimate concerns like cross-buy (which Nintendo is looking in to), tied to console purchases, stuff that effects you as a consumer. The other things you complained about are just pointless to have. The system is fine, I have no issues using it. I can voice chat when I want, but I mostly text chat with the people I play over skype or facebook. I'm even an administrator for a small community, we have a damn teamspeak I can use regardless the platform I play.
