Trying not to be hipster but, the more I see of the wii U, the less I care. If it's anything like the previous console, and am skipping this one and seeing what Sony has next.
I don't get this? "if it's anything like the previous console" .... how exactly? If you mean: a console that plays games then shit, I guess it's like the previous console.
I'll just assume that you mean something like "a system that gets mostly shovelware party games and is held back by weak graphics and forces you to wave your arms around" then you KNOW that this is NOTHING like that. There is zero chance for you to have missed that messaging. The controller is huge, because it has a touch screen in the middle that happens allow for a separate view of the game or a maps screen or inventory or whatever the devs come up with (see: Aliens Colonial Marines with the motion sensor thing). It's gonna have all the online shabazzle we've come to expect (accounts, voice chat, browser, netflix, blabla) and in the words of Randy Pitchford they "wouldn't make the game for the platform if it didn't support all the stuff they needed" (talking about online).
The controller now has sticks, which have been said to be clickable, the backside has grips that are reminiscent of the GCN or 360 controller and on top of that you get some extra shit like cameras, speakers in the controller, the gameplay streaming to the touch screen, NFC, motion sensors and more horsepower.
So how can it be anything like the previous system? Unless you really do me "if it is a console that plays games".
