Wii-U's newest competitor is the iPad

It looks like Nintendo will have to come out with a new strategy.


The iPad has not really caught my as a gaming machine, yet when I saw Nintendo's Wii-U you can bet that I was really disappointed in the design. Now iPad will be going head to head with Nintendo's latest hardware which still hasn't come out with a new device called the Airplay.

The Airplay is a device which allows you to use any sort of iOS device and stream it via your HDTV at 720P with Stereo sound. The only difference is that the iOS devices don't really have a physical controller but that could change really soon if a 3rd part company decides to release a bluetooth compatible controller.

On top of that the iPad already has thousands of games available for download and while it may not match the Wii-U's processor or graphics, it will certainly be a better option if you have already invested that amount of money on the device and have not used it at all. Kind of like the Wii.

The Airplay is expected to debut later this year for iOS devices and other devices as well. Price is still unknown but if the price is somewhere between $49.99 and supports Android, I'll be in line to purchase one.
