As a Wii U owner, I'm actually shocked how great the Wii U's browser is considering how half-baked other parts of the system currently are.

Sure, it doesn't have all of the newest HTML5 features, but compared to your average browser-on-a-console, the Wii U's is surprisingly functional for general purpose web browsing and way better than what I was expecting.

Also, the Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime Streaming apps are pretty cool and just beginning to show some of the potential of 'second screen' interaction using the Wii U GamePad. These were actually the killer app for the Wii U for me. I doubt the system will get much third party support, but the video streaming apps are great now and likely to get even better as the "TVii" stuff starts coming online.

That's because a large portion of the system runs on JS/HTML.
