It was an embarrassment for me when we hosted Thanksgiving dinner last night. Had about 20 people over, were playing Call of Duty Black Ops 2 with GamePad and the Pro Controller, but the Pro Controller was stuck moving backwards, so I thought "how do you disconnect and reconnect the controller?" Tried the power button on the Pro Controller - nope bad choice, turned the whole console off.

Got back into CoD, this time the Pro Controller worked fine. A few minutes in, EEEEEEEEEEEEEE game froze. Couldn't do anything except pull the power and reboot. Then it played fine for about an hour and we decided to swap over to Nintendo Land. It literally froze 3 times in the next hour.. I was so embarrassed because I wanted to show off the new system and make some believers of people who said the graphics couldn't be as good as the 360's - CoD proved they're at minimum on par, however everyone was quick to point out the 360 never freezes like that. Having a 360, they asked why I didn't just get CoD for the 360 instead... I said I wanted a larger library for my Wii U and they were aware of the freezing and a fix would be rolled out.

Honestly I felt disappointed because 4 freezes on Thanksgiving night is just ridiculous. Sure the graphics are nice and the 5-person game play is fun, but they released a buggy console that's made people say "I'll wait and see what Microsoft and Sony come out with next year." As for the 15-20 second menu loads... everyone couldn't stop making fun of my "next gen" console that's slower than hell.
