A) Everyone tries to extend the life of their prior console, retard. Look at Sony, they tried to keep the PS2 still going after the PS3 was released, and I don’t blame them, it still stands today as the best selling console ever–but the Wii earned the title of fastest selling console ever. http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/nintendo-wii-sets-record-as-fastest-selling-console-in-the-us/

B) The two would be on at the same time for certain uses, such as in Call of Duty, you could use it for your map without pausing the game, or just as the pause screen to select your next loadout class when you respawn. God you’re an idiot not to see these simple ideas.

C) It would coexist along with the Wii and Wiiremotes and the 3DS, not the DS, idiot.

D) Change your name, it makes you look like an arrogant fool, which so far you’ve proven you really have no idea what you’re talking about.

its about the last thing u said. the controller shows you personal stuff PLUS what you see on tv. that is one of the purposes of the screen. plus, if you get a wii or playstation or whatever and someone wants to watch television you have to give up. with wii u you can use the controller screen.

But it doesn't really matter what they say right? Just so you know, Nintendo's Iwata has already spoken about its price. Wii U 300-dollar Zone Report And it shouldn't really be expensive.

Looks like the WiiU is designed to bridge the casual/core gap, could do a good job – if the market is still there in a whole 12 months, given that Microsoft will have an Xbox successor on the cards…

Sound familiar? This is the same thing they said when the Wii came with the Gamecube AND the same thing they said about the DS and GBA. They are just trying to extend the shelf life out of both their products, which won’t be nearly as compatible as it seems.

Nintendo has a habit for screwing around with interoperability if it helps their bottom line. And I fail to see how their new game controller, which seems to be a whole new portable device, will co-exist alongside the Wiimote and the DS.

Plus, who wants to use both the WiiU controller and stationary WiiU unit at the same time? If you have to look down at the WiiU controller to use the touch controls, how are you going to be able to watch the game on the TV? Sounds stupid IMO.
