Is anyone else irked by the fact that Sony and Micro and Nintendo are trying to make GAMING consoles into these stupid all in one entertainment centers? Doesn't it just take away business from yourself like Sony to have someone buy a ps3 that they make no money on and watch movies on it as opposed to a cheap blu ray player they can make 20 bucks on a pop in profit hypothetically? I don't need my GAMING console to have hulu or netflix or apps. MANY new tvs coming out these days have these features or smart tvs built in with all that crap. I buy a gaming console to play games on them, maybe a movie occasionally but overall its meant as a gaming machine. The wii u of course has that TVii all in one thing which IMO just seems kinda pointless. I wasn't really struggling using 1 or 2 remotes to begin with for a satellite box and tv separately. I feel overall in the future there will be less primary focus on the main purpose of playing games with consoles, but trying to do more of what nintendo is doing with TVii.

People like the convenience of all in one devices.
The iPhone is a perfect example of why they sell.

You don't like Nintendo TVii? You must not be a sports fan. And also just because you think things aren't necessary in a console doesn't they aren't nice to have.

TVii, Web browsers, and all that jazz are added benefits, and Nintendo does it right. Sony, on the other hand, includes technology to up their console prices, since they have no original ideas.
If the Wii U succeeds, it will show once again that innovation sells more than power. If Sony never changes, they will again mimick the Big N...then blow it out of proportion with expensive hardware.

I am a sports fan, I like watching football and hockey and am an MMA fighter myself so I love watching fights. Still it just doesn't seem to appeal to me. Microsoft just announced soon the xbox will be a radio as well. like why? most peoples phones or laptops or tablets etc can browse the internet, even tvs browse the internet now, we dont really need a console to do that or using up the RAM to do so in multitasking if it doesnt need to be utilized, it still has dedicated amount of RAM for something like that which seems like a waste. Every new gadget has the ability to do the same things as it is, they just seem like pointless add ons. I just feel microsoft could be doing SO MUCH MORE with GAMING which was the intent of the system in the first place. its meant for games; instead of worrying about other media crap. they said they dont care about exclusives and IPs for games anymore. Well How do you expect to sell the nextbox? No one is going to run out and get it because it will have netflix and hulu and a browser on it. They should be focusing on more things thatll sell the main attraction of the console which is original games. I hardly ever use my xbox and will even less when the wii u comes out bc of exclusives and new games to play. I'm afraid less emphasis is on gaming these days. its more about social media, but I have 500 other devices that were meant for that. a pc, a phone, tablet etc. I want my gaming console to focus on delivering great games and nothing else. NES and Genesis didnt need all this extra crap to sell millions of units, why? because it had tremendous libraries of good games. Their view is so dissolved now with focusing on media entertainment as a whole and not why they invented the xbox division. To make games. Case in point, focus on what they are now- the console in the future will suffer because a lack of exclusives, but more of LOOK WHAT I CAN DO. yeah, well everything does that too. sorry guys just a rant and im done haha.

true, but how many times can you buy the same device over and over and get the same features on everything. my pc has netflix, phones, my tv has nextflix, my vita, wii, ps3, xbox. they arent locking anything special or exclusive anymore to push sales.
