In the three motion controlles area the Move is the least popular. Come on Sony, when are you going to learn? Miroku32
They're learning that it can't be an add-on peripheral that works with 5 games. Therefore it will be released out of the box with the PS4. [spoiler] Therefore I win my SWG bet [/spoiler]
Jeez, it is $350 in the UK? It is going to bomb in the UK. How expensive is it in Japan? Is it the same price over there?

349 AUD = 350 USD 249 EURO = 330 USD 24980 JPY = 326 USD 229 GBP = 362 USD 449 NZD = 375 USD (wi-fi versions)where did you get the New Zealand price from? i was just trying to find it a minute ago. Here.
You bloody Americans should be the last complain, you get it for a mere $250. People were expecting it to be priced at $350 yet you people still whine. If anyone should complain it should be us in the UK since we have to pay £220 / $350. Even then, it's still reasonable considering all the amazing tech inside it. Bloody cheapskate Americans..

BluRay is nice and all, but it still need some work. At this moment, I would say a DVD is like a small office, nice, clean and tidy. BluRay is like a giant office, with papers thrown all over the floor. It's true, BluRay is unorganized.
because not only do you have to pay $200+ but you also have to pay for the over priced memory card. and if you're dumb enough to get a 3G version you also have to pay $25 a month for slow internetmems_1224
Why would cows get the 3G version. I thought they hated paying Monthly fees to play online...
Exactly. Innovative games. Not control schemes, games.

New control schemes allow for new types of gameplay and genres.
We can finally play RTS games on home consoles for example. SC2, Diablo 3 etc.
So "innovative" means playing pre-existing types of genres on tablet screens? And pray-tell, what purpose will the TV serve in such a mechanism? Because all of the action is going to need to happen on the screen you're touching. Unlike the DS, it's not essentially one extra long screen anymore. The screens are separate and the most natural way to play the Wii U will be to hold the controller in your lap, creating a gulf between you and the main screen.
"Innovative" means creating new genres on consoles, and/or expanding on pre-existing genres, adding new gameplay mechanisms. Games like Trauma Centre or Professor Layton would not have been nearly as fun with dual analog control as they were with stylus/wiimote control. Being able to use the pointer in FPS is, imo, much more fun than dual analog. Same with Skyward Sword controls. The other day, I sat in front of my TV with my tablet in my hand, grasping it in the same way I would with the wii u controller. Being so large, it's not too hard to spot a general idea of actions on the screen from the corner of your eye. To get a more detailed view, all it takes is a quick eye movement. No need to over react with this gulf talk, and I doubt anyone would want or even need to rest it on their lap. Having a second screen at the palm of your hands really does open a new level of immersion and interactivity. At E3 2011, we saw the game Ghost Recon Online control with dual screen. If you watch that video, you could easily see how the FPS genre could expand with a dual screen interface. It can be used in any genre, IGN wrote an article outlining imaginative ideas for batman on the Wii U, which is worth a read.
