Wii U?

For those who don't know, Nintendo has attempted to reinvent itself with the forthcoming, Wii U.  In many ways, this is the gaming industry's attempt to capitalize on the evolving social media experience of the Internet. Wii U is an "I Pad Like" tablet that provides additional detail on games and allows messages between players online as well as additional gameplay with friends in person.  Nintendo revolutionized the game industry in the 1980s, but was almost wiped out of the market in the millennium by competitors like X-Box and Play Station.  Though the original Wii was a valiant attempt to stay relevant, it remains to be seen if the Wii U will create a meaningful gameplay for users as well as create a more dynamic social media experience...  But who knows, maybe they'll cut a deal with GM to pop up car ads while you're playing Need for Speed 4.
