To be fair, the Wii-U is being released so far after the ps3/360 that if the specs weren’t better it would just be terrible. It will eventually be competing with the ps4 and the next xbox (720?). Additionally, they are turning the controller into a tablet, which people may not like.

Pretty crappy to call out Ben Kuchera publicly like that.

Gamers are a strange crowd. The Wii U is a going to be a very capable machine that could play games at 1080p with an allegedly better graphics quality than the PS3 and the Xbox360 and yet gamers can’t stop the parade of feces-flingin’ about it.

The Ouya at best is going to be a gamecube with HD streaming minus the games that made you want to buy a gamecube and yet gamers can’t stop worshipping it as the second coming of Jebus.

Certain games, yes. But it’s not the same as designing for a platform that natively uses this type of input device. There are console games out there that use the mouse, as well. But it’s not what you go there looking for. Besides, a lot of that games that you can use the controllers for on the PC are not necessarily designed to use that interface. It’s more of an afterthought.

Hype or not the people behind it are a little more reputable than the crew behind the Phantom. Besides, the Phantom never had this many investors, as much publicity, nor as transparent of a development process.

Penny Arcade, well… Ben Kuchera wrote that article. Nothing against Ben, but maybe if Robert Khoo would have written it I might have put more stock in it. Just seems easier to see then negatives than the positives.

If I’m wrong, I’m out $129 for something I felt passionate about. If I’m right, I’m at the starting gate for something I’m excited for. Maybe I’m just getting less cynical in my old age.

Sounds like the OnLive system. And it is doing so well.
