The controller is truly awlful. I've never liked the Dualshock controllers, but they at least looked good On Paper™. Now it will be shit to play with and shit to look at. Fail tbf.
Further entries in franchises like Killzone and Infamous which have never been critical or commercial successes on more than a moderate scale aren't particularly exciting if they're the biggest launch games. But outside of Gran Turismo, Sony has never really had monster first-party games.
On the Wii U thing, Thierrymon has a point if he's talking in regards to third party support. Nintendo has struggled with that since the N64 for a number of reasons, the latest one obviously being that the Wii and the Wii U are dwarfed by Sony and Microsoft's superior hardware. The Wii was the fastest selling games console ever and was breaking records for it's first few years, but that still didn't encourage developers to create something for a potentially huge audience. All their best efforts were elsewhere. It's definitely more of a Western developer thing, as the majority seem to want movie-like, blockbuster experiences and obviously the manly hardware is where they can best show that sort of stuff off. Nintendo handhelds have always been huge, but Western support for them has always been pathetic. It would probably take Microsoft and Sony's new consoles completely tanking for Western third parties to put their focus on Nintendo devices.
Nintendo's handling of the Wii U launch has been poor, but you usually have to wait until the second year before a consistent stream of big games are available. Nintendo's upcoming line-up for both the 3DS and Wii U looks to be outstanding. If you don't like ANY of their games or Japanese games as a whole though, you're probably best served with the other consoles/PC.
