I just don't see how it'd be some big selling point, versus simply releasing more and better games?
The only way they'll have widespread adoption is with a totally unique experience like Wii Sports was. But who among "real" Nintendo fans really cares? Wii Sports and it's ilk are crappy mainstream games that i don't want to play anyway.
If Twincobra doesn't answer i could easily list heaps and heaps of reasons to own a Wii U. As a "real" Nintendo fan myself all i wish they'd do is release another goddamn F-Zero or Wave Race game! But if you saw their E3 this year you'd know they have a much better lineup than the other companies - yes in part due to their head start, but still.
I was when I was 14, but now life tends to get in the way. In the last 6 months I've probably spent no more than 3 hours gaming. My PS3 has spent more time playing movies and streaming. But, I don't think that I'm asking too much for them to add a few simple features that allow me to completely replace my PS3 and not lose any capabilities. I can't see Nintendo's failure to adapt to the market as a good long term business solution, as historically any company that fails to evolve to the market doesn't do too well. And all you "real" fans, what are you going to play if/when Nintendo shuts up shop?
