I think that the console itself for the Wii U should be redesigned.
It just looks too much like the Wii, sure it sits horizontal when the Wii sat vertical (how the Wii sat was actually optional, but it was advertised and recommended to sit vertical.) The design for the actual Wii U console just looks too bland.
I am not really sure what Nintendo would change if they actually did this. (Maybe different colors would do the trick.) But I am sure they could find a way to make it look more interesting.

Thoughts?

Yeah it kinda does look sexy. But I think matte black would be even sexier. PLUS it would match my entertainment system and current consoles.

I deff agree. I think nintendo could really make it look really cool. I think they should at least change the color because your right, it looks a lot like the wii and then add something to it. Create a different shape or design with it. Make it look smoooth and shinnny :)

White just stands out on my entertainment system.

It looks too uninspired though. I wish it was a little more creative. Although I still wouldn't mind if they kept the current design.

Just keep that color, and make it less Wii-like.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

I would say just release the console in both black or white, i don't why we should wait 2 years for a different colour.
Its obviously a marketing technique but i think everybody would prefer more choice at launch.

The black with red light just makes it look beastly. Although I'm sure, just like with Wii, they won't make other color options available until several years after its release; so I'll just have to get my paint and primer ready. :P
