Unfortunately, you're wrong... low latency low-range wireless communication is very cheap. Nintendo made it even cheaper by making the range even lower.Exactly. If people wanted a better LCD with multi-touch/capacitive features, that's the the iPad is for. They should buy Apple's products since they're better suited for their self-entitled sanctimonious attitudes.
Off-screen play....being able to play games, watch YouTube or Netflix when someone else is using the TV is quite beneficial, but if people want to wait while others watch Glee marathons or Here Comes Honey Boo Boo until they play the precious Xbox One/PS4 games, fine by me.
The technology is similar to Intel's WiDi or Wireless Display tech where AV data is sent from the consol to the game pad with less than 1/60th of second delay. That tech ain't cheap either, people are just being uppity because they can't back up their arguments with facts.
The quality of the WiiU controller is not my point. My POINT is that it cannot be a costly device. The components of a WiiU aren't much more expensive than an Xbox 360, which would be evened out by the 360 HDD and the WiiU's lack of. So does the WiiU controller warrant a potential $150 price?
No fuckin' doubt, right?
No. I fuckin' doubt, alright? That Japanese sneaky ninja-pearlharbour-upskirtpeaking company called Nintendo is lying to everybody.
