I agree with you on a lot of this, but that cardboard you linked wasn't a working model just a really shitty mock up, and Piko isn't an idiot. The rest of the stuff you're spot on and criticism is deserved especially when you dick with people removing honest questions to downright negative feedback and charging $300 for that is a joke. Even as bad off as the WiiU has been and will remain, at least you can fairly more confidently justify that price given the big ass tablet controller and the library of stuff from Nintendo alone that's quality enough to make it look even worse. To want to take money from people when you don't even have a working proto and to find idiots in the indiegogo people to help you push that potential scam is even more distasteful and puts a sickening questionmark on trusting that site in the future too.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I was interested and I am still curious, but the price is garbage even if it comes to market I won't pay anywhere near that. You may get a few new experiences there, but most of it, not a chance. If you want to piss over $100 on a console, at least get a Retron5 as it has 2 decades worth of games to screw around with over 10 systems (soon 11 when SMS is added.) That thing is going to go up in flames if it comes out without some serious reorganization of things.
