It looks cool, but from what I've seen, hard core gamers aren't impressed. The controllers allow for yet a different type of gameplay but they are pretty damn huge. Nintendo won't have that many cool games. Then again, all PS3 and Xbox 360 have are FPS clones, but most gamers like those anyway. I predict that the Nintendo U isn't going to sell well. It'll be expensive, not that much advanced that current generation consoles. What made the Wii a success was that it was innovative and cheap. Don't think the U is a big leap in gaming, and the high price tag with most people who wanted a current generation console already having the PS3 or Xbox 360 probably won't get that many sales. I think the 3DS is more exciting, except for the headaches.
