Are you sure that's what they are saying? I have seen a lot of posts talking about the SYSTEM being portable if you have a portable power supply. You don't need a television with it because you can use the controller to view the game.

And I see a lot of posters getting confused that people are saying that the controller is portable without the system..

We used to hook our PS2 up do the screen in my Mom's old car. The same thing can be done with the Wii U if they also include the option for AV.

FAIL. You do realize that there's an actual console part that you plug into the TV right? The controller is just that, A CONTROLLER. Idk where you got that insane assumption about it being a portable device. Don't you think Reggie knows? The console can stream content to controller. You NEED the console.

Learn to read. He said with the console. He is talking about putting the console in a car so people can play during trips, ect.

No, this is fail.

That is why people are saying the CONSOLE is portable, not just the controller. Because the controller has a display you can do away with the TV. I have not seen a single post saying you don't need the console or that the controller is a stand alone hand held. The CONSOLE is what they are saying is portable.
