That was - at best - embarassing...
Seriously ? The voice command for Kinect working properly ? This is misleading to people who have not used Kinect before. Kinect is a good idea. Great concept. But the implementation just don't work !!!
Now, as far the Wii U goes, the features that Jeff is talking about ( off Tv screen, touch screen, mutli without spiting screen ) are working perfectly.
So we're comparing Apple and Oranges here.
Now, it's the right of Andrea to not be interested in the Wii U.
She's right by saying that the vast majority of launch games don't push the gamepad features as Zombi U.
That said, I'm surprised that Andrea can diss a system before even the system is out.
Everybody says that the Vita should be given some time, before being judged, can we - at least - give the same treatement for the Wii U ?
I think that the 360 is quite a different system today than in 2005... Look how the 3DS evolved so much in less than 2 years.
So let the Wii U a chance !!!

This is all the more reason for Sony to completely redesign its approach with the Vita. Stop trying to make it a gameboy, and start trying to make it a dual shock. If you can release a 5 inch tablet that plugs into your game controller, and has enough internal hardware to run a lot of the games on PSN independent of the console, you have a great proposition for consumers---and a lot less of the responsibility that comes with shaping a proprietary handheld platform.
Sell a dual shock for $50, and you eliminate all the button and "super oval" components of the Vita. Get rid of proprietary memory cards, because all your library is digital anyway. Then you easily have a $200 device that is not only more appealing to gamers, but more appealing to a mass audience as well.
