    Well duh the 360 kicked the crap out of it! They are on different levels. They weren't geared toward the same audience. Are you telling me there is a warehouse full of returned wii consoles somewhere?

    Anyway.. comparing the wii to the wiiu is silly. They are completely different. And yes I would say the wiiu is a big competitor for other major gaming systems. Why else would Microsoft and Sony add peripherals for motion sensing if they didn't thing Nintendo was good competition?

    Why are people comparing the wii to the wiiu like its the same thing, that's like saying the original Xbox is the same as the 360.
    Trust if you like gaming go get a wiiu, you will not regret it. Don't get me wrong i still love my 360, but the wiiu is a step above it right now.

    I still say the wiiu is clunky. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. I pretty much have no reason to get it, especially since I have my own entertainment system in my room.

    Lol what is "clunky" and what is a entertainment system? Tv, surround sound? Sounds like a nice new wiiu would go nice with that

    Clunky: the controls are hard to reach, over sized. I'm not interested in something the size of a notebook (the paper kind, not the computer kind).

    Entertainment system: tv, PS3, laptop (PS3/laptop are connected to the tv via HDMI)

    Your saying this without ever holding one, read the reviews even the nay Sayers said the game pad is surprisingly comfortable. And besides its only one of the remotes, there's the wiimotes and the pro controller that is the same as 360.
