The Wii U could possibly be the perfect all-round system:
- can play it as a serious gamer (assuming more third party devs are on board)
- can play it with ur girl
- can play it with or give it to ur kids.
- can play it in a party setting with casual gamers like the Wii
Not many systems can brag about doing all these things at once....

might have to cop this eventually.
1.) You can't play it as a serious gamer because serious gamers haven't warmed up to or even had a reason to warm up to it yet
2.) Girls love Dance Central more than
*insert wii title here*
3.) Kids is a mixed bag. Depends on the age. Age 3-8, sure.
9 and up, they want an xbox. My kids are now getting to that 9 and up cat. But I will still get the wii u cuz my sonfew is a huge Lego universe fan (games) plus they grew to enjoy the wii since a new game would show up in the harddrive every few days
4.) Can play it in a party setting

Yeah, maybe if there is a pinata there? No gaming is "cool" at a party except for.... Kinect of course. And only if it was setup right
I once had a Rockband party for my oldest daughter, we had the stage kit.. fogged up the living room
shyt was awesome. Everybody loved it. But I couldnt see that working in many other scenarios...
its funny that you talk about the same games when what iteration of Call of Duty are on? 2, 3, 4, mw2, bo1, mw3, bo2? in one console generation. what iteration of Gears of War? what iteration of Halo? most of the games that people anticipate on Microsoft and Sony consoles are either ideas stolen fron Nintendo or annual / semi-annual rehashes of the same games they've been playing for years.
First off, all those games you named outside of Halo are ALSO on the Wii/Wii-u
You seem to be upset that nobody wants to play those games on the wii
But please don't even attempt to talk about rehashed games when you talking about New Super Mario Bros U

Its all about 3rd party support, and guess what system has the MOST 3rd party support?
That means xbox has more diversity, but your talking like if nintnedo does?
How would you know, nobody ever buys or plays the games.
I did, didn't see you talking about them with me. You just throwing out opinions
Thats cool, I have one as well. I put lots of thought into my opinions because I follow this gaming shyt, been doing it since Nintendo Power
And my trackrecord is pretty damn good in predicting shyt
lets not act like New Super Mario Bros U is the next true entry in the Mario series when its really just a side series.
No, its what Nintendo is feeding you. And not only that, but this is the 3rd time they tried to sell you this same damn game

This is how pitiful nintendo has gotten. Whats the purpose of handhelds?
So they can make ports of console games for on the go
So they make this bullshyt Mario game that is running off the same engine as NES Super Mario Bros

Then they port this handheld to THE FREAKING CONSOLE? (thats opposite of how its done btw)
Oh, you thought they was done? They just regurgitated a SYSTEM. Rehashed a system on you fools, not a game. An entire system.
Then they kill the console off quick so they can bring you a current gen system at the end of the cycle, just so they can sell you New Super Mario Bros again. He, lets put a -U at the end of it and we'll call that "innovation"
The last Mario game nintendo made was Mario64 which came out 100yrs ago
fukka sunshine, fukka Mansion, fukka "new"
lets not act like Smartglass isn't a reaction to Nintendo just like Kinect was. this is how it goes. Nintendo develops an idea and Microsoft and Sony steal it and try to flip it a lil bit. its become so shameless.
No, Smartglass is a reaction to the tablet/phone industry that is zeroing on gaming. You'd probably say nintendo inflenced the ipad too?
See how retarded of a fanboy your being here? Now SmartGlass makes mad sense.
Why not be able to do what this "new console" can do.. on the old console
Like, how can M$ copy the idea before the wii-u even came out

Think about that while your screaming "innovation"
As for Kinect, Kinect proves the Wii was a gimmick. How so you might be asking?
How can an addon make another system obsolete?
Once Kinect caught on, there was no reason to buy a wii anymore.
Which direction is Kinect heading tho? Its more than just motion controls
Motion controls isn't the angle Microsoft is going. INfact, they heading into 3D halographic worlds with glasses on and Kinect 2.0
Nintendo? Oh, they just gonna go HD, create there own tablets and launch with New Super Mario Bros Wii U
What you think the xbox 720 is gonna launch with? Halo Combat Evolved 1080p edition? I can guarantee you that will NOT be the game.
The rise in "innovation" will be much larger from the EAST this generation.
The idea of the wii was great, but the execution was horrid
The idea of the wii-u is not great, but the execution will probably be better
The idea of kinect is great, execution was excellent but not flawless
The idea's of kinect 2.0 = EPIC to say the least. As long as they execute, its a wrap
Sorry if you don't see that, but your not really a visionary anyway so
