I'm a hardcore gamer and I couldn't care less about the specs. I care about the games. Hardcore gamer != tech geek.
fair enough, but there is probably quite a bit of overlap between the hardcore gamer crowd and tech geek crowd.
i'm certainly not a tech geek. it's the gameplay that matters.
but as a gamer, there are things i want to know. mainly, online plans and storage space. i dont care about system or video RAM or how many cores or how many USB ports a system has. they dont impact me that much. i assume it'll be comparable to the ps3 and 360 since Nintendo's shown they can make a decently powered system in the past.
what they havent proven (to me) is that they have any idea how to handle online or how to manage disk space. and as a gamer, those are important features. those are the things i want unveiled.

It's not like their strategy hurt them last time around. The thing is, spending lots for a prestigious "awesome" system makes sense, but it means you'll be competing more closely with others and spending more at the same time.
That being said, this system seems to cut profit margins right off the bat by making such a damn expensive controller.

Nah, the Wii killed Nintendo's nostalgia and now the Wii U (The worst name system ever created) gets no love from the fanboys.
All the Wii U is is what the Wii should have been 5 years ago, but now with a crazier controller.

I know. 
They can just call it what the rest of us are calling it... Lame. 
I still think the Wii should have been called the "V" or "Vii" or iVi" or anything with a V in it. Microsoft called the Xbox 360 because they were afraid stupid people would think the name Xbox 2 would be a weaker system than the PS3. So Nintendo could have called the Wii Vii and remind people that V is 5 in roman numerals.

Seems a bit backwards:
Wii - "we" - "we all get to play"
U - "you" - "only you get to play with the controller"
Wii - "we" - "we all get to play"
U - "you" - "only you get to play with the controller"
Yes, they stopped putting red lights in the xbox.
No, really they did. The new Xbox S models only have green lights. Think you get an error message now then it shuts itself down to stop an over heat.
They're just fucking with you. People thought that they couldn't think up a worse name than "Wii" when they first heard it back in 2006 or whatever, so Nintendo is trying to prove them wrong. Doesn't matter to them so long as tens of millions want to get their Mario on.
