And how do I benefit from the Wii U being a little bit more powerful than other current gen consoles? This power will probably only be used to make it easier for devs to port current gen games to Wii U (= less optimization needed), but we have to pay extra for this.
Umm you'll benefit from the GamePad first off; the features it has for gaming and non gaming are great. When people start using the power then games should look quite good and you should notice some difference.
Remember, it's not an order of magnitude more powerful than current gen, and it has a touch screen controller. Its price reflects that. If you really think for what you're getting it's too expensive, just don't buy it, but I think it's pretty comparable to the current twins in price, all things like expensive gamepad considered.
No HDD which is a shame I admit, but it has flash which should be faster and you can use cheap SD cards to expand. It has 2GB of RAM, not 512. A touch screen controller with lots of bells and whistles. General graphics performance that all speculation suggests is 2-3 times as fast as current gen. More modern GPU architecture which means more/faster hardware features.
I don't see why people are complaining really. If you're complaining it's not up to the level of power you want, then that's another story. But if it was you'd be paying more than US$300 for it.
