    Does the new Wii u have DNLA streaming media support? Online services such as netflix, Lovefilm ? Can it decode DTS-HD for modern movies -

    Its needs to be some much more than a games machine to even stand a chance.

    Agreed. Although I thought they were going to create more of a Media Centre with the Wii-U with downloadable apps.

    Sega are doing quite well as a Software company. Almost every device has had some re-incarnation of 100 Megadrive games. I think Nintendo need to think along the lines of: Smart Wii

    Poor hardware, rubbish graphics in Wii games - hard to even consider it as a games console!
