The WiiU has:
-an IBM power based multi core processor
-A processing unit for High-Definition Graphics
- A controller that is pretty much a household handheld console (but cannot play older console games and has been said to have short battery life)
- 5 player capabilities
- Touch screen interactive gameplay.
Complaints have been (from other console owners):
-Short battery life for the controller.
- Online capabilities are not truly reliable (yet) and are not the best performance wise.
- Loading screens are pretty slow, and it takes a while.
-For the basic set you really are not getting your money's worth.
-Interface performance is slow.
-Game choices for the console really have been limited so far and displeasing.
TVii (a free program that allows you to watch live TV, streaming services, DVR, etc) still has not been released/activated yet so ratings of the console are still very malleable.
The WiiU in general still cannot be given a solid review because we will be seeing vital changes over the next month of so that will change the way the console is viewed completely.
My own personal opinion?
I will be waiting until I see a game I really am excited about before buying this console, and unfortunately I may not buy it at all. For me, Nintendo has not been keeping up the the current consoles, aka Xbox and PS3. Their graphics are now "on par" with Xbox 360 and PS3 (if not still a little bit behind these consoles), and Microsoft and Sony are currently working on their next gen consoles which will blow the graphics of WiiU out of the water. Nintendo still does not have a console that has amazing online functionality, and that is super important to gamers currently. I think this will be hurting Nintendo's sales numbers significantly, and it's a reason why I can wait until the price of the console goes down, or just wait for the next Microsoft console.WiiU Basic 8GB- going for 299.99 dollars (listed Nintendo price)
WiiU Deluxe 32 GB going for 349.99 (listed Nintendo price)
