I have missed you turbo! And I guess I don't count the shovelware titles as 3rd party support. I think that the wii with this gen's graphics has decent potential, but I just don't get the feeling that many developers would go out on a limb and try to make a killer Wii U exclusive. (Not saying that it's not possible, or that I wouldn't want that) Fact is that they know the **** market is there for ps4, xbox 720, and pc. With Wii U I think it's kind of a ****. Wii U will have a **** audience, but I don't think it will be very big, and developers need to make a profit. Regarding the option to buy the other consoles down the line, that is true. The next gen doesn't have me too excited I'm afraid. Wii U is the only console I'd consider getting because Nintendo actually tries to create a unique experience. I feel like pc has better offerings than xbox or playstation, but it doesn't have anything Wii-like.
And I'm surprised how many names I actually recognize here still. Nice to know that the community is still alive

edit: Hahaha. h@rdc0re is censored!? That's funny. And g@mbl3? Not sure I understand that one
