Oh, Lar's just joking around. Here's my issue with the Wii U, it isn't a huge leap from the current gen systems (Xbox 360 and Playstation 3) and Microsoft (rumored) and Sony are coming out with more advanced next gen system this year that will have similar features to the Wii U with the second screen.
It's also not a good sign that many next gen devs are saying that they don't intend to support the Wii U, so it's going to be mostly Nintendo games. Some good games, I'm sure, but that's going to really limit what can be played.
