Pros: Playing games on your pad is amazing, nintendo games in HD, Wii verse is amazing thanks to the nintendo online community. The max power consumption of the system is 80w.
Cons: So far most launch games run worse on the wii u, COD, ME3, AC3, Batman, Darksiders, are all better on the 360. The systems OS is very slow, every option is app. Your friends list is a app and must load, even settings, the os is very bad right now.
Other Thoughts: This is good if you jumping from a wii, but if you have a ps3 or 360 you will probably be disappointed because the game look exactly the same but on the wii u case are most of the time worse. I expected to see upgraded resolution at least for ports but no. Also when you first plug it in get ready to dl a 5gb update that takes hours.

Rating: 5/5Finally! Nintendo steps up!
Pros: ~ Runs cool
~ Plays all HD Content even live steam and blu-ray
~ The controller is a nice tablet, Even draws well!
Cons: ~It doesn't open itself?
~2 Hour update time when you first power up the system :(
Other Thoughts: The system responds well and operates quietly! After 8 hours the system was still running quiet and cool. Call of Duty Black Ops 2 runs much better on the Wii U then the 360 or the PS3. THe Co-op also runs very smooth and offers different ways to play!
The Wii U interface and apps also run very smooth! We did Netflix and had to walk the dog and were surprised to press the button and it instanly jumped on the controller! Pressed it again when we came back and it was back on the big screen. The resolution and sound on the controllers screens is very clean and crisp! The Tablet controller alone would probably be a good $500 plus the things it can do (Software).
HIGHLY recommend this system! Stop reading and buy it already! The update time is annoying more then a con!
