The Wii U has a slight problem with a what we call a “Day One Patch” where you need to update your console before accessing it’s online features. Normally this isn’t a huge problem as the 360 and PS3 fall victim to this from time to time, but what makes the Wii U update feel so painful is that it takes up to 5 GB of space.
For people looking to avoid this massive update, they might have to wait a while as Nintendo America president Reggie Fils-Aime said the update won’t be built into the system until early 2013. “Nintendo developers want to make sure that the very best product is available to consumers,” Fils-Aime told Gama. “That creates a dynamic where our developers are working on elements until the very last point possible. That’s why the system update was required on day one – and this is quite similar to what’s happened with other consumer electronic products.”
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata had previously apologized for the update stating that he believed customers “should be able to use all the functions of a console video game machine as soon as they open the box.” So if your getting the Wii U for the Holidays, you might want to be patient and try not to unplug the console or cut the connection in anyway as doing so my cause the Wii U to suddenly stop working.
