I'm not a Nintendo fan and won't be getting a WiiU because it doesn't suit my gaming tastes, but I really hope it does succeed because competition in the marketplace is always a good thing, especially for us the consumers.
@gilldominic @JangoF-76 Ok I'll give you the controller, but as for your other 2 points...Nobody cares about Kinect, in fact being forced to have it whether you want it or not is one of the biggest gripes people are having with this system. I don't think many people care about the cloud thing either.
These things may be innovations but they come at far too high a cost.
@gilldominic There's really only one 'innovation' that most gamers want from a new console - awesome games with better graphics. Anything beyond that is fluff.
@MegaPhilX2 Yeah, that was the biggest load of PR bullshit ever - you can imagine the MS PR reps beforehand:
"Here's a list of prepared responses that will make it appear that you answered the question while in actual fact completely evading it. For Christ's sake, whatever you do, don't give any direct answers!"
