Because honestly, when the only thing you improve on a console from one generation to the next is the graphics/processing power, you will only take the gaming experience so far. Eventually you're going to hit a dead end. You really do have to innovate in other ways as well, as nintendo proved with the wiimote.
So i'm going to look at the WiiU and not judge it until it's had a chance to prove itself. |
I'm actually pretty impressed with the imagination shown with this thing.
I'm of the mind that the single greatest improvement a console maker can make to it's systems is with the controller and UI, and with this WiiU thing, I like all of the possibilities of using that second in-hand screen and some of the cool things shown in the ad demo. Something as small as showing your inventory in Zelda on the touch-screen for quick-selection is huge, and it avoids the need for menu jumping, and although it would be a shame if that were its ONLY use, it's still really cool. The use of the controller to play baseball, or for zooming in in shooters is really cool to me as well...
Knowing Nintendo, they'll put it to good use, and release a whole slew of updates to all their best franchises, along with a few 3rd-party gems to fill out it's lifespan. I'm definitely giving this thing a chance.
