Thanks.
I couldn't see what the fuss was about.

Of course there is a graphical jump over the Wii, but is it more powerful than the current ps3(look at uncharted) ? so he maybe got confused its not a NEW system when the 2006 system beats it in graphics.
Its scaled Wii U, sounds more like an add on than a new console. Consoles usually have a number to symbolize the next generation or a full different name(gamecube->wii) . The Wii U probably is a confusing name.
none the less, the journalist still is ignorant, but you have to give some of the blame on Nintendo. They are launching the system in a time when no one else is, so its easy for the average joe to think its an add-on like the Wii MotionPlus, Wii balance board, Wii zapper, Wii Wheel, Classic Controller Pro, so Wii U is maybe part of that list

Well I have my thoughts on this and I think it is a tie between Microsoft and Playstation 3. I think Nintendo lost in this one with the Wii U and I was not impressed with it and I believe this is a last ditch effort to save the company.. In my own opinion Nintendo is a dying gaming console and they are still using 20+ year old graphics for games.. Also Nintendo is known for family and kid games and now bringing on 3rd party games that are violent and etc!
