I'm only going to adress some arguments because I don't have time for an essay. Huh, I never knew that having games that aren't super serious hyper reall shooter otherwise known as "Cutsey" was a con. the whole PS4 exclusives argument is exactly what microsoft was trying to do with early DLC. 2 seperate hardware pieces? are you kidding me? the tablet is your controller on the wii U, that's like saying the xbox controllers are a con. Doesn't come with a controller? it isn't expected with pc gaming, mouse+keys is the standard for PC Exclusives are a con? are you retarded? it's a good thing because it's something the competition can't provide.
