Impossible to say at this point. I just don't think it's wise to get your hopes up too much. Best case scenario I see as plausible is it misses a few of the early ambitious titles, catches up by the end of the second holiday season, then pulls ahead temporarily when the new PS and Xbox release.
Really depends on a lot of unknowns at this point like how well early third party efforts do and what it's capabilities are compared to upcoming competitor systems.
lololololololololol at any talk about bias against any console manufacturer. Especially in 2012. Amazing that mentality still exists.
To be fair, any professional who calls something a "piece of shit" sounds like a child.
Agreed. At this point, I'm basically using GTAV confirmation as a litmus test for whether or not we can expect sufficient 3rd party support.

This ^^
Definitely going to be an interesting E3. I stopped following what those Invisible Walls fellahs have been saying years ago due to their strange anti-Nintendo thing they have going on.
I think we're pretty much guaranteed to see any publishers with any sense supporting the U from the start, too many of them missed out on the money making machine of decent Wii development this gen for various reasons. I think we may even see more than a few third party exclusives on the way.
Your avatar implies vast maturity.
Luke Smith used phrases like "piece of shit" all the time. So did Shawn Elliott. And those two are examples of some of the more interesting people to be involved in the gaming press. Being honest and calling something a "piece of shit" is a breath of fresh air in this industry. You can be crass and intelligent at the same time; they aren't mutually exclusive.
Lol, this is a joke right? I can never be sure with Juniors...
Anime is for losers bro.
"I started posting at a message board earlier than you thus I am smarter" will never cease to make me laugh. You truly are the master of your domain.
Anyway, right now I see no compelling reason to buy a multiplatform game on the Wii U.
Is this any worse than "I don't like your avatar thus I am smarter than you"?
Get a clue.
Because that's what I said? Nice job putting words in my mouth.
My classic controller doesn't have L3/R3 buttons or rumble, so I'm not sure why it's so much better than the Wii U tablet. Unless width is an issue, but to be honest, I have bigger hands so I see that as a positive.
Is the tablet supposed to have clickable analog sticks? I haven't heard that, last I knew they were 3DS style sliders (hopefully that changes to at least traditional analog). But for multiplayer games, I don't see why classic controllers wouldn't be compatible... it's an identical set up, after all. I'm not even sure software coding would be required, just some hardware detection.

This is utterly pathetic.
No it isn't, and thinking that makes you a holier-than-thou non-junior. Didn't you read?

Pikmin 3, new Retro game, and NEW! Legend of Zelda for launch.
I doubt anyone has had a golden ticket to Nintendo's chocolate factory. I think he definitely something 3rd party... but what do I know, really.

Probably just a general sense of things from talking to devs and maybe a few third party things he's NDAed on would be my guess.
Not only is it likely third party centric, but it's also likely western third party centric (since he seemed to have no idea what's going on in Japan on the third party side)
That's a great sign for the US market (and considering that Nintendo has proven capable of receiving great japanese third party support as of late, a great sign for the market as a whole)
I just can't think of anything from a 3rd party that would really make people say wow. Nothing likely anyway. The only other possibility is that there is a surprising amount of cross platform support. A handful of cross platform games wouldn't be impressive, it'd have to be a very strong showing of western support. But that too seems a little unlikely at the moment.
That's why I think it was ED

beyond good & evil 2 a launch title. the console would be sold out for decades.
Personal attacks are always a great way to have a discussion.
Giving me a one liner about the prospective quality of a product is absolutely useless, if someone who is paid to write about the gaming industry can't provide something more substantial then they are not doing their job. I'm not sure how you could think this is a "breath of fresh air".
Luke Smith? Wasn't he that guy that practically praised Bungie for years until they hired him or something?
Calling something a "piece of shit" is a breath of fresh air in the gaming industry? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! One, that's probably the most commonly used description of anything in gaming since people are more willing to show their hate for something for some reason or another. Two, there's a whole language to use so resorting to such mindless words is a sign of having a child like mind. That's probably a good reason why they are in the gaming press and not writing a gaming column for the real press.
I don't think anyone wants a 2012 Silicon Knights game, no matter how good ED was.
Nintendo tends to bring out the best in mediocre developers, though.
This is hilarious.
I think that the implication is that current-day SK is not merely mediocre.
Considering Eternal Darkness 2 seems very likely at the moment, that's the hope...
Well, Nintendo owns the IP so chances are that a good number of their internal people would join the team for the game. It wouldn't just be an SK game.

Yeah SK is pretty terrible. I thought for sure Too Human was going to tank them.

At least they still support the PS2
The framerate was awful even with those visuals.
Thanks again, Canada.

Let's just hope they have Retro on that and not SK...yeah.

You think Retro might be helping with development? That would be excellent but is that really likely?

I think it's possible, as I recall Nintendo owns ED, not SK. And since Retro has been gearing up with all these devs from games like Uncharted and Darksiders, a team like that would be suited to the type of game ED was; dark, more realistic and visually pretty.
I think she's supposed to be Russian, or something.
There's no doubt that at least one internal Nintendo team would help them. It's really a question of who.
SPD 3 makes more sense considering that is the point of their existence.
Yeah, that's true. Plus I'm sure Retro is busy.
