The Wii U is just around the corner, and although we don’t have exact hardware specifications yet, we do know that it is only a LITTLE better than the current-gen Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. With neither of these systems making a move to new hardware anytime soon, this isn’t a huge deal right now, but what about two years down the road?
How do you know that is only a LITTLE better than the current-gen PS360? Oh... the rumors, right.
Call me old fashioned, but, I prefer to get my news "straight from the horse's mouth..." and not from the horse's ass.
3rd party developers have said that the WiiU is significantly more powerful than the PS360. I guess they must have missed out on all of the rumors and gossip.

Fair enough.
Sorry if I came off as the typical "raging fanboy". My self-control is improving though, I am down to only 4 rants a day.
gimmicks: truths.
Wii sold on Wiimote and Wiifit, not by a large library of great games (outside the same old 1st party IPs Mario, Zelda etc)
DS sold on a weak one touch screen
3DS sells on weak semi 3D that most devs even stopped using.
WiiU sells on a weak one touch controller, while all smartphones, tablets, psvita has multitouch
gimmicks sell Nintendo systems, sad but true.
Region locking is never a good thing. It hurts developers, publishers, and prevents gamer's from playing games they bought. f Nintendo continues this on the WiiU (Which they most likely will) then yes, it will be bad for Nintendo, and the rest of the gaming industry
Most people already have a Wii so i do think that many people going to buy this, only the core gamer's. Soccer mom's already have the old one so i don't see many of them going to get the new Wii. They better have a good price point for it, because if you have more then one child it's going to be a problem.
