I haven't seen any official specs, nor would I even trust any mentioned at this point as more often than not, things change before a console is released.

I'm a gamer and generally a first adopter, so I'm going to keep my eye on where Nintendo goes from here - but I will say this; I haven't been overly impressed with the selection of games available for Nintendo consoles over the last two generations, so they aren't going to get my money just because it's a new console.

They're going to need to show me a game or two that's going to make me say "I want to play this" and either have that game exclusively or have their version of it be good enough to say "I'm willing to drop X number of dollars to play this."

Basically, Nintendo's "Look! It's Mario!" approach to things isn't going to make me buy the Wii U. Nintendo needs to show me that they're serious about making a game console that fits my tastes and is going to have support beyond just Nintendo titles.

Oh, and while I think the 25gb custom disc format is a great idea, I really do hope to see hard drive support (external is fine, if not preferred, by me) and solid online support.

Bottom line? It's all about the games. To put it in food terms, lay out a delicious menu, and I'm going to stop in and eat.

(Oh, and before the inevitable, let me state that this is what will entice *me* to buy the console. Just my 25 cents worth. Yes, I know Nintendo has a rabid fan base, and yes, I know for a lot of people, the standard Nintendo franchises are far more than enough to buy in on day one. Your mileage may vary.)
