Haha the **** article pretty much sums up my opinions on the Wii U. I want to give Nintendo my money, but they keep pushing me away. I just don't anticipate the Wii U getting much 3rd party support. Perhaps I'm wrong, but wasn't the complaint from this gen that it was difficult to make a game for ps3/360 hardware, and then try to port that to Wii? It's the exact same thing here... Nintendo will be a generation behind in hardware, and developers would have to choose Wii U or Xbox 720, PS4, and PC. With pretty much non-existent 3rd party support (Although I do love pikmin... And I think the controller would be great for battalion wars) I don't think I could force myself to shell out any money for a Wii U

I'm quite confident that Nintendo will have third party support (at least more than ever before) for the Wii U. I mean they did have third party support for Wii and still do, but it's all mostly garbage with a few exceptions like Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. Ninty just recently released Pikmin 2 again with Wii controls and I'm having a blast playing that game again. Now as far as Xbox 720 and PS4 go well they will be obviously be more powerful than the Wii U, but it'll be a while before they come out and probably too late to beat the Wii U in the console wars. By then the Wii U will be more affordable and will have a ton of games to choose from. You can always buy a Wii U and also a PS4/720 later down the line too. Many gamers own a Wii with either a 360 and/or PS3.
