Why the demand for the Wii U to be the same media box the other two are shitting out. I miss the old ways

There is demand out there. Personally, I don't care as the PS3 covers it but I can see why others would. Having media capabilities on the pad alone would be a plus as you can take it anywhere in the house.

My biggest gripe is lack of proper Dolby/DTS support for games.

Nintendo rocks and the Wii U rocks. I also own a PS3 and X360, and they have some great games (Red Dead Redemption is my all-time favourite game BTW), but i find that their games only hold my attention for so long. There's no need to replay them after completing them (except for Red Dead). I own every Nintendo system from the SNES to present and I always go back to Nintendo games for their quality and replay value.

For those that think that the Wii U is not next-gen because of it's graphics, just remember that the system is only 18 months old and hasn't been fully unlocked yet so their is still more juice it, and that it also runs most games on two screens, the TV and Gamepad. Do any other consoles do this at the moment? It can also pause the game and run the internet browser very quickly at the same time. Not sure if the Xbone and PS4 do this as well as i don't own either, but it's pretty impressive none the less.

Games sush as Sonic Racing, COD and other multi-system games are usually just ported over without any extra work or system tweaks, so the games or graphics aren't going to be pushing the system at all. But look at the games to be released in the next 12-18 months such as Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zelda, Yoshi's Wooly World, Star Fox, they are starting to put pressure on the other consoles regarding graphics and style, and gamers are taking notice.

Each to their own regarding consoles and games, but i'm a gamer so i enjoy games on all consoles. But Nintendo do it best IMO.
