It's very possible that you may be part of a much larger demographic that embraces the scope of all the non-gaming features of this machine. And I don't even mind features of a platform that I don't use - they're there if you want to use them but don't have to. I just get concerned because the console gaming industry seems mired in a lot of details like social media, new takes on controllers, and many other things while the focus on GAMES seems to be secondary. Hope I'm wrong. I think Nintendo has really gone south with such a big emphasis on its new controller and have sort of scratched it's head over the last year or so wondering why Wii U consoles haven't been selling well. Maybe, it's um, that there aren't any compelling games for it? The new fancy controller is neato (I guess) but even now there aren't any MUST HAVE games (at least for me anyway).
I couldn't agree more. That is exactly how I feel. I am not part of their target audience. I'll probably still buy one anyway because I'm a slave to gaming, but it will be years down the road when it costs much less and hopefully by then there will be at least a few games I will be interested in that are only available on that machine.
This is what it really boils down to. It's why I don't care much about the other stuff really.
