Having never given the original Wii any attention, I actually did look into the Wii U as I was curious to see if Nintendo was offering a solid product this time around. The pro's I noticed were actualy 1080p display output, HDMI output (and cord included out of the box standard model), and a fairly decent library of Nintendo's standard Mario/Zelda fare.
The cons that I noticed however outweighed the pro's enough that I still can't justify the purchase: too many gimmicks worked in that don't seem to have a clear usefulness, slapped together online features that seem to chase after those offered my Microsoft and Sony in a way that comes off as buggy and just all over the place in terms of features, and horrible battery life on the little screen controller thing. I think Nintendo tried to revolutionize too much when they should have simply been refining the original Wii or focusing on an entirely new platform altogether.
Like most people, I'm still not interested in consoles as much as I used to be 10 years ago.
