[quote name='Erad30']You do realize it's NOT a tablet, right? It never has been, Nintendo has never pushed it as such. It's a home console. More portable than most since you don't need a TV screen for many titles, but it's still pretty meant to be played at home just like any other home console. The gamepad is a way to play games differently, be it finally not having to fight over the TV (hence why I'm getting any mutli-platform titles on the Wii U in the future) or using the second screen for various things they mentioned, most importantly playing two different ways (asynchronous gameplay I believe it was called) at the same time which is shown off rather well in Nintendoland. It's a simple example for now, but you simply can't do games like that on the 360 or PS3, and odds are the next systems from those companies won't be capable of gameplay like that either because they mainly care about how shiny the graphics for next gen are, not what they can do gameplay wise.[/QUOTE]
You do realize that everyone calls it a "tablet" outside of core gamers right? If Nintendo doesn't want people to think of it as a tablet then they have done a terrible job explaining what the it is. Of course if people knew what it was, most of the non-gamers that bought the original Wii wouldn't want it anyway. So Nintendo probably wants to keep the ambiguous nature of the controller out there.
