The reports that the Wii U isn’t as powerful as the XBox 360 and Playstation 3 are about as worrisome as a cloudy day. Here's why.

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
wait so now it doesn't matter?
IMO, I wouldn't be bothered if the WiiU was less powerful than its contemporaries. I just want a decent step up from the Wii and lag-free connectivity between the WiiU tablet and the console.
I've never once bought a Nintendo system (console or handheld) for the hardware power. Never.
I'd be bothered , doesnt mean i'll boycott it . People can still be fans and have valid concerns or critics .
Game fandom is increasingly becoming worse than religious zeal . You're quickly nailed the the heretic's cross is you dont like something .
not only does it not matter, its irrelevant
if anything it just means its guarenteed the wii u will outsell everything else
Power matters. You cant make a blanket statement and say it doesn't matter to Nintendo fans when their are many wii owners and users that wish at that time they had the money to buy a ps3 or xbox 360 or that their system was just as powerful. Bs tech and weak ports because the system couldnt handle it. Trust me they dont want the same scenario playing out. For nintendo its good because they will sell and make a profit instantly but for consumers nahhhh not true at all whether their Nintendo loyalists or not
Yes Nintendo sold gazillion wiis but how many of those wiis are catching dust? many i know quite a few and if their not someones 5 year old is playing it. So Nintendo wii selling a gazillion regardless of weak tech did not benefit the consumers but just Nintendo.
If wii u is just on par with the ps3 and xbox 360 or weaker that is a shame. That means that once again Nintendo owners will be shafted and getting the weaker ports of games when the ps4 and next xbox come out which matters.
