I just don't think the WiiU's novelty factor is all that great. Sure, it's a decent enough feature and worth having, but it doesn't carry the same excitement factor as "oh wow... control a console with your body!" which the Wii had.
If they allowed, say, up to 4 pads to connect to the system, then it might find a use as a way to really reinvent the board game. Each player having his own screen could overcome one of the biggest obstacles computer interpretations of board games have. It could even lead to a whole new genre of family turn-based games. But firstly it would get pretty expensive bundling controllers with the system and secondly I just don't see it having a massive appeal.
So tell me, how are the Xbox One and PS4 any more innovative?
