2, 3, and 5 are dealbreakers for me.

Only number five is a big deal for me; an internal harddrive should be mandatory. Number one seems more like a minor annoyance. Two through four won't impact/bother me.

Well, I won't buying a WiiU anyway but some of these are problems that should have been addressed.

1. I don't care. I only use rechargable AAs now anyway

2. Another don't care. I'm 19.

3. Gamecube controller sucked and Wavebird was only good cause it was the best wireless last gen. CC Pro is much, much better. If it's that big of a deal, they have GC-style classic controllers.

4. Again, doesn't bother me. It's not gonna leave my room.

5. I'd rather have external. That way I can take my stuff with me.

1. Batteries ~ And what is stopping Nintendo from developing and releasing a play-n-charge kit like the 360 has? And since when is 60 hours battery life something to complain about? 2. One controller ~ People are going to b**** and moan about this until the cows come home. So what? Get your children some 3DS's instead. 3. Gamecube controller ~ I love the whole "I'm entitled to everything I want" attitude. Sometimes everything isn't feasible... which is why we have the Classic Controller Pro. 4. Wandering children ~ Grasping at straws much? 5. No HDD ~ Good, keeps costs down and lets us use the external USB drivers we already have. None of these seem like legitmate deal-breakers for anyone interested in the platform for its games.

Number 4 is just stupid. That happens regardless. It's happened to me multiple times. Only number COULD be a problem. The rest are nit-picky.

The only one that wasn't idiotic on that list was five.

What can I expect though? It's VGcharts after all.

Those are quite silly points, except the HDD, but at least you can add an external HDD.

That is one of the worst lists i have ever read. It's like that incompetent writter tried to hard to find bad things to write about a, currently, console that we know to little about, and failed.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Not only that but any of those things could change from now until launch... we've heard like nothing solid on anything about it.

Its not only about kids. If I get one, when I invite friends over, they will be stuck with an awful controller. Really, designing a new systems controller and to have it only allow 1 per console is the worst design Ive ever heard.

HDD's are so cheap, they really should be built into many of these systems anyway. The 360 kinect bundle with a 4GB flash drive is 300 dollars, whereas a 360 kinect bundle with a 250 gb hard drive is 400 dollars. That's pretty ridiculous. Basically, you just paid MS 100 extra dollars for 250 GB's of space, something I can easily purchase on an external or internal hard drive for around 25 dollars. There really is no reason as to why these companies should charge these exorbitant prices anymore, but people buy it unfortunately. The non-rechargeable controller is pretty stupid too...

You do know they still aren't set with how many tablet controllers they're going to allow right?

Pretty bad when I can buy an external USB 3.0 1TBHDD for 80-100 bucks, or a 2TB external powered HDD for the same price. That's why I'm happy with this route Nintendo is taking.

You do know this ruins split screen gaming yes? ALso, the system supports 2 max, which still isnt the required 4.

People complain about it not having a hard drive, but then turn around and complain about the high cost of consoles, that's very hypocritical. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

The last report was they aren't sure how many it'll support. We know it can support four, the AMD press-release about the GPU listed it in it's specs.

I'm hoping they decide for 4, because I want these for split-screen gaming. I mostly play online though since all my friends now have PCs now, so it's not that big of a "want" for me.

Are you kidding? The way things are going, it would need a 500GB to a 1TB hard drive and would probably raise the cost by around $100 or more. That much extra money could be a deal-breaker for a lot of people.

It would need no where near a 500GB HD.

Hell, don't even include a HD. But leave a spot open so the consumer can buy their own and put it in the console. Everyone happy.

HDD was bad for consoles. Think, what did it give us? Unfinished games that they patch up later and DLC.

Why put it in the console? Why not just use an external so you can take everything with you?

Well, if the Wii U will be using flash memory I hope it has at least 20gb.

It'd be great if it supported external hardrives.

What a pathetic list.

  1. They will release rechargable batteries for sure.
  2. 18yo here.
  3. Hope they release other controllers but I haven't tried CC Pro.
  4. 18yo here.

All of those are pretty much non-issues, except for the hard drive thing. They were standard on the xbox in 2001, yet somehow they still aren't going to be standard in all consoles over 10 years later

Hate all those respawning enemies in farcry2? This is reason why they exist.

It has 8GB internal flash memory (Same as the 360...slim,) SDHC slots (Something the 360 never had on either of its 3 revisions,) and external HDD support.

This is FAR better this way. Now I don't have to pay 100 extra bucks only to get stupidly small HDDs. Now, I get to use a 1TB USB 3.0 external for that same price which is much faster.

Where is the original article that says all this? Not that I don't believe you :P I'd just like to read it.

The 360 slim has 4gb of flash memory though.

.... Three of those five reasons basically amount to "There is only one Wii U controller and that sucks."

After looking at the link i was almost tempted to think it was a joke.

None of those really bother me at all..

But... idk. I just dnt seeit being something to get upset about
