In case I have failed to mention this I want to now for the record.
While it seems everyone has written off the Wii U as a failed game console I do not have a problem with it besides lack of support. What does come out it great but there are two features it has that no other console has had before that I adore.
1) The Gamepad can turn on the TV. This may not seem like a big deal but it is. I don't have to hunt for 2 remotes when I want to play something. I can pause and flip to a different input. I can adjust the volume. It is spectacular and simple and all consoles should have this feature.
2) I don't even need the TV. Sometimes I don't even turn the TV on. I like playing on the Gamepad straight up. I brought the Wii U up to my bedroom for a time so I could lay there and play Hyrule Warriors in my bed. The Gamepad screen displays Nintendo's HD goodness right there a foot from my face and it is glorious!
I hope the NX carries both of these features forward.
As much as I love these two features there is one thing that the PS4 does that I have not seen previously and it is even better (I think XBONE does this too). The system can save your spot in the game even after you are done playing and you power it down. I smile every single time I go in the living room, power up the PS4 and my guy is sitting exactly where I left him. It doesn't seem like a lot but not having to wait for boot up and load and select save game and all that is magical. When I want to play Witcher and Geralt is right where I left him, I love it!
I wonder what they can come up with for the next generation that will be this impressive.
