Miyamoto: People will come to depend on second screen
"I almost feel like, as people get more familiar with Wii U and these touchscreen interfaces, that there is going to come a point where they feel like 'I can't do everything I want to do if I don't have a second screen'." The trick, of course, is getting people familiar with Wii U, something Nintendo has yet to accomplish judging by hardware sales.
"I feel a device like Wii U, with its ability to continue to offer new features and that network connection and the connection to the TV and the interface, really makes it feel that it's more than just a game machine, but something that offers a lot of practical use and practical purpose in the living room," Miyamoto said.
Miyamoto reiterated plans to update the firmware to make it "a little more stable, a little bit more convenient to use from a system standpoint." He's also working on figuring out how to "convey the usefulness of Wii U" to potential owners through games. "For me as a game developer, obviously I look at Wii U from the perspective of what games I can bring to Wii U."

WoobieOasis Wii U was rushed, fact. Wii U would of benefited from a longer dev and better marketing, when the next gen comes out the sales will fall even more.
I agree, they had some good idea with it, but it was rushed and poorly marketed.
Yeah true..

Wagering It just seems like a overly large controller. & that seems annoying to me.
It's actually not. The size is just perfect but you also have the pro controller which is basically a 360 controller.

The controller size seems like it would affect but once you pick it up it feels natural I made the switch to Wii U near the end of March and haven't even turned my Xbox on. It really comes down to preference the second screen is easy for me and convenient the Wii U's browser has replaced my laptop also im writing this on meh Wii U!
