The Wii U has been out a little while now and it’s an interesting blend of game console and touch device.

Nintendo has very deliberately set out to create a device that works well as a browser, stating “Let’s make a browser that users can use on a daily basis, something that can really handle everything we’ve come to expect from a browser and do it more naturally.”

Ofcom figures show that of people aged between sixteen to twenty-four, 20 percent visit websites on their consoles. Children aged five to fifteen are more likely access the internet with a console than with a mobile phone or tablet.

There’s a very dangerous thought when designing for mobile that “the user will never want to do that on a mobile”, and it’s worse on games consoles, but just consider that in 2011, twenty people tried to join a New Zealand bank from their Playstation 3.

So we’ve moved from sites responding to mouse clicks, through finger swipes and now to game controller d-pads.

Where next?
