"No company can afford a lose, least of all Sony and Nintendo, the former due to their financial woes and the latter due to their increasing irrelevancy in a market they once dominated."

Nintendo didnt dominate ps360 last gen?!

I personally hope there is still some variation of the gamepad on the next console. When it is used properly it makes gaming better IMO. Maps, inventories, etc are great on the gamepad but outside of gaming it has a number of perks as well. The gamepad works very well with my TV. I dont really need to use any other controller to manipulate cable/tv. I love browsing the internet with it, and it kinda has made my Ipad worthless outside of apps. Being able to use one controller (with touch screen) and easily go from games to TV to Internet is great.  I also find using the gamepad to play games or browse the internet any where in my house without the tv to be a huge plus. The Wii U is my favorite console ever and mainly because of the gamepad. I like the idea of having a gaming console that is also used as a center piece of all entertainment like the Xbone aims to do (which I feel Nintendo has kinda done here). The Wii U would be a "perfect" console with these changes/upgrades:

 

1. Ability to play Blu-Ray and CDs

2. More range/Wifi on gamepad

3. The ability to manipulate my surround sound system with gamepad

4. More apps

5. Ability to take gamepad any where and play games  

I would actually buy this game again if there was an HD version on the U. I would like manipulating the inventory on the gamepad.
