i have to admit, as a nintendo fanboy, i just dont care about this system, the controller, or the launch titles. the only thing that will get me to buy is seeing how the software looks a year from now when the bar is raised. right now the devs are not familiar with the system, nintendo has done a poor job of giving them full access to all of the features, and the launch appears to have been prematurely sped up to cover up for the wii's steep decline.

nintendo has been rushing hardware lately. the 3DS was rushed as well, it should have had a true second directional control instead of that stupid add-on. i also think the wii-u is over priced like the 3DS. still, none of these problems are insurmountable. they got the 3DS down to a competitive price and now it is making the vita sales look ridiculous. if the wii-u gets its stuff together, it could be a popular console for niche titles from developers that cant afford what will be the new standard for AAA budgets when 720 and PS4 come out. i wouldnt be surprised if atlus, xseed, etc. end up flocking to it, if the best case scenario works out. worst case is this thing ends up doing worse than wii which is a real possibility given the price and the fact that the casuals have moved on.

so you are saying that in 2-3 years the xbox will have a bullshyt tablet controller??? thats your arguement???

The Xbox has one now. they put out that App on Android, Windows Phone, and iOS that attempts to turn your smart phone or tablet into a Wii U ripoff style controller.

you spend $299 for the tard pack that's just the 8GB system.

for the extra $50 you get:
a retail game that cost $60
4x the storage space
a dock for your controller
a stand for your system
the $6 off all digital game purchases after your first one deal

all that stuff is more than worth the extra $50. if you're gonna spend $300 what's $350 to you if you got that $300 already.
