Should the WiiU have a USB3.0 on the back

Anyway, the question is, with all the possible software, and now the rumoured "App store", along with shortening load times of games upto 25GB (rarley ever reaches that point) and the new wonder of updates and DLC... should Nintendo be concerned about not having USB 3.0? Should they add one or multiple usb 3.0 inputs to the back of the system? Do you plan on using more than the 8GB of storage that the WiiU is supposed to come with? And if so, do you think 3.0 is a useful added speed for this application. I think theyy should but what do you think?

As far as i know, many external hardrives are switching to a USB 3.0 plug, but it may have USB 2.0 on the other side of the wire connecting it to a computer. I know it doesn't make sense but it still increases speed.I don't know if I've ever seen anything that uses USB 3.0. I find it unlikely that Nintendo would add something to the Wii U if it is not commonly used. It might be a good idea for them to do so to prepare for the future, but I have my doubts about that happening.

I don't think Nintendo should bother with USB 3.0 as it is fairly expensive to implement, premature technology, and isn't that useful yet.

That's what the flash memory is for it will be light years faster than ps360 as they use hdd loadingi still think the wii u doesnt have a lot of space because of the possibility that wii u will have a disc read speed so fast that no install is needed for games.

I think that it would be wise for Nintendo to have at least 1 USB 3.0 port. Given that the console will most likely be out from 2012 to 2017, they need to have the technology available to keep up, and in 2017 a lot more devices will be 3.0 than 2.0. It's kind of like Wi-Fi with the Wii-in 2006, most Wi-Fi was in public places and not in homes.
I agree. For the sake of futureproofing and keeping up to date.

As long as it doesn't affect value too greatly. Remember, this is potentially more expensive than Gamecube support, and they've already openly come out and said "NO CUBE FOR YOU! REGGIE HAS SPOKEN!"
