I must have posted 3 times now saying how shocked I am at people's opinions re: graphics, the controller etc.
Just what do people want from Nintendo?
The Wii has been panned for poor graphics, poor 3rd party support etc.
So the Wii U adds graphical capability, possibly native 1080p and now people are saying what's the point, you can't tell etc. So many contradictions.
You've then got muppets moaning about lack of new IPs or innovation, then in the same sentence whinging about gimmicks.
My 2 concerns with this are quite minor:
1) Cost. I don't think I could manage a £300 launch for extra peripherals and the console (and games ofc!) This might be negated by the relative simplicity of the hardware if it's not much more than a souped up 360.
2) Drop off of 3rd party support. Sure, it might get in on cross-platform action now, but what happens in 2/3 years when the next-Box launches?
For now, I'll happily keep playing my PS3 (and Wii) and see where the land lies for the Wii U. I like it, but a few hours of information is not enough at present.
