No, and I can do annoying font too!

I guarantee more people have 360/ tablet combos than wii u. I would even bet that there are more ps3/ vita owners than there are wii u owners.
If a developer wants to waste their time developing a dual screen game for the wiiu then they might as well do the same for the other guys. The audience would be same size.

I just want to see live stat updates, game scores, box stats, etc on my ipad while playing NHL online.

Like how a developer can't stream content from the Wii U storage, because there basically is none in the retard version. I get the concept. But I can't envision a game I would want to play that will actually need the second screen, so anyone could implement it as an option for those who want to use it and have a tablet or a Vita.

edit: And all of that ignores a three hour battery life for the damn thing. While that's in line with an iPad or a Vita for gaming, it's awful for a main controller for a home console.

3 hour battery life sucks, and I haven't seen any games I really want to play on Wii U yet (which is why I haven't bought one yet), but I'm optimistic.

A game that relies on PS3 + Vita will exclude about 95% of the PS3 audience and X% of Vita audience, it just makes more sense to not have that feature. With, say, ZombiU you know exactly what you are selling to and every new Wii U sale is another potential customer.

Sony's said that nearly every Vita owner is a PS3 owner, so if you marketed it as a Vita game with home console features, it would be pretty safe.

I hated playing the Rayman demo. I paid good money for a large tv. Why the fuck are you making look at a shitty 4 inch screen to play the game?
That second screen is useful for maps or hud info. You know, like Dreamcast.
Nintendo:king of innovation.

VMU couldn't display maps right? That shit was horrendous.

Here comes the "but Nintendo has the best developers" bullshit that has never been true.

It's not even about that, I just find the idea that a gamer got more from a chintzy launch game where you swing shit around than any of the hundreds/thousands of games on PS3/360 to be a bit ridiculous. I mean, Wii Sports is fun and all, but come on. I wouldn't even put it as my top party game this gen (Rock Band 2).

I'm sorry if this has been posted already, but has anyone read this yet?

Your point was right on. I was anticipating a response to your post from the usual suspects.
