It doesn't matter if the wii u is "next gen" or not, its all about what you do whith what you have and Nintendo is a great example of that. Nintendo needs to focus on their online service first and foremost.
I think stickers are a good idea, you could put them on your mii's face. Mii clothes would be cool too, like if you complete the first level of super mario bros then you would be awarded with an 8bit mario hat.
This is what I think will happen, the Wii U controller will be portable. The Wii U controller will have limited functionality outside of the home(only music, small games and apps, video), but will need to be synced with the console in order to play more resource demanding games, upload/download data, and browse the web. The Wii U console will be the Wii U controller's only wireless gateway. I think the final design will be less clunky, therefore being easier to carry around.
Maybe they'll show off the final Wii U form along with price and release date @ CES so people can get their money ready for Christmas. I'm sticking with my $369.99 guess.
Shigeru Miyamoto is truly a great videogame designer and producer, If He never ceased to design and produce then we wouldn't really appreciate his work. Thus far Nintendo has been a blessing to me.

Nintendo needs to get back N to it. Hardcore gaming is the only way, we need a modern day N64 and gameboy color. Nintendo needs to stop being so soft! Why is everything baby blue and white, DIS AINT NO BABY SHOWER!!!

Re: Nintendo May Not Call Wii U a Home Console
