Wii U

Wii , iPad ------> SEX!

Nintendo's eighth generation home console, successor to the Wii, released in 2012
the Wii mostly targeted casual gamers, but the Wii U will target both casual and hardcore gamers
the controller looks like a traditional controller but has a big touch screen, almost like a tablet
it is said to be 50% more powerful than the PS3, but the power is likely to get over taken by the next PlayStation and Xbox, and showcased games of current generation
it will not be capable of playing DVD or Blu-Rays, but is backwards compatible with Wii games

the console itself looks like the Xbox 360 and Wii had a child

The suuccessor to the Nintendo Wii, announced in June 2011 at E3.

The new retarded Wii that sounds like an ambulance.

Like a Nintendo DS, but not portable.

When you feel so guilty about past success, you purposely try to sabotage yourself so your rivals have a chance.

Wii was a one-hit wonder with enticing motion controls, everyone has that now. A generation behind in its time, you knew the PS4 was over 5 years away. But PS4 is just a year or two past Wii U, everyone will wait instead. Casuals will stick to their original Wii and ipads/pods.

The most important fact is that it takes time to get to know the hardware of a game system well, for the developer API's to get to that point where they can make great looking games. Wii U is only 50% stronger than a PS3, but modern PS3 games look over 50% better than 1st gen PS3 games, so the result is when Wii U is released, its games just aren't going to look much better than PS3 games. Nintendo could have used this opportunity to be the first to market a serious next-gen contender and re-dominated this gen like they did the last one with Wii, but intense feelings of guilt of how much insane money they made with DS and Wii's success has caused them to want to destroy themselves with Wii U and the overpriced 3DS. When Microsoft and Sony release their next-gen systems that are going to have better frame rates, handle 1080p 3d games, better texture resolution, anisotropic filtering, physics, other nice graphics effects, Nintendo's corporate harakiri will be complete.

Nintendo's iPad ripoff which will unfortunately be massively overshadowed by Microsoft and Sony at next year's E3. Only one of the ZOMFGAMAZING controllers is usable at a time, which means your "friends" are stuck with remote controls, presumably to change the channel to some stupid shit like Jersey Shore. But Nintendo came prepared, now you can be a solitary antisocial dickhead while your rock-brained friends fawn over Snooki's buxom.

Oh yeah, and the touch screen is resistive, no multitouch. Which means you have to jab it with an ice pick.
