Why Nintendo Wii U might be annoying:

    It is Nintendo's first HD console, released over half a decade after Microsoft and Sony went HD with theirs.
    It is speculated that Nintendo released it because sales of the Wii were lagging.
    It is essentially a larger-scale version of the Nintendo DS.
    The naming process consisted of taking the name of its predecessor and adding a 'U' to it.
    Its sales were nowhere near as high as the Wii's during its launch.
    Its controllers are expensive and have a short battery life.

Why Nintendo Wii U might not be annoying:

    Nintendo finally went HD!
    Several of its games are playable on the controller's screen without the TV.
    It brought back Nintendo's cult favorite 'Pikmin' franchise.
    Nintendo is using it to lure back the hardcore gamers that it lost with the Wii.
    It is backwards-compatable with the Wii and several of its games are playable with the Wii's controllers.
    Its online system is greatly improved over its two predecessors.
    It is the first Nintendo console since the Nintendo 64 to launch with a brand new Mario game.
