Okay to clarify:

WiiU =/= Wii (because there are a bunch of people getting confused)

The ipad looking device is a CONTROLLER not the console, the console (WiiU) is between the size of the xbox360 and the ORIGINAL WII

The footage with the bird flying through the garden was taken from EITHER the PS3 OR the Xbox360 (Nintendo would NOT disclose which of the two systems it was from, 2ndly they DID NOT try to sell it as their own; rewatch the video and listen to the actual words they say (what it CAN do and not what it IS DOING))

It uses Bluray-like discs but since the name is copyright they are calling it an "optimized DVD disc" or whatnot, its the same damn thing

Developers have already said that the unit is ON PAR with PS3/Xbox360 systems (So stop saying it won't be able to handle something that is coming to either of these systems)

Nintendo's stock has been at a low for around a year, since there was no more need for a Wii (everyone and their mother already owns/ed one) and being so their stock has dropped, it is nothing to worry about, in fact I would encourage getting stock in Nintendo if you play the market, because at the release of a console the stocks usually skyrocket for a couple months

The only official specs that have been released to my knowledge (unless something was released OFFICIALLY by Nintendo while I was at work) are that the game discs will be able to hold 25GB of data (Xbox 360's discs are roughly 7-8GB disc sizes, so its more on par to a BluRay) and it will have 8GB of flash memory (Which we don't know if this is going to be the HDD or just a place for save games; as flash memory has become quite popular for doing just this in consoles)

Finally, do your research before you hate or like, that is my personal objectification.
