...and then they go off and start printing money again. The idea is just crazy enough to work.
Whether or not it'll swing "hardcore" (lol) gamers or not has yet to be seen. My bet is that it'll sell fine for casual and novelty crowds, but never quite catch up with Microsoft in terms of competitive multiplayer.
As for the name, I agree that it seems weird and Japanese... but so is the Wii. I'm pretty sure they went with Wii U with large consideration toward the visual branding. The U logo is cut out of the controller's shape.

It could, of course, be the new Gamecube. *NM*

It's possible. I'm not saying this is a guarantee, but we've seen how the DS & Wii have printed $$$. *NM*

Please. It picked up at the end of its lifespan, but it doesn't come close to XBox or PS2

I owned more games for GC than I have ever owned for any other system

Gamecube was the top of my leaderboard in quantity and quality of titles owned, too. Until the 360.

Same here. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it has the best library of any console I've ever had.

I came across a "fact sheet" earlier today listing most of what's known about the Wii U.

It's all about the games, and we haven't seen those yet. But I have some concerns.

Only one Wii U controller per system. That's a big downer, IMO, even if they'd be pricey for 2+

I think it uses Wii remotes with pointer controls. Not sure though.
