I love the Wii U, I love the Gamepad and if the 3rd parties hadn't jumped ship it would probably be my favourite console ever.
That said, they took control of the industry again last gen and should have released powerhouse Wii2 this gen which would have left Sony and Microsoft with nowhere to go, instead they have limply handed control back to Sony this gen.
I think it's bullshit that we still have to choose, consoles should run all software just like a CD player, DVD player MP3 player etc
