Why are people just assuming this crap is true? Confidence in the Wii U is at an all-time low.
I agree entirely. We can see that even the Nintendo faithful aren't onboard with the WiiU as they desperately try to convince themselves that it will be just as (or near as) powerful as the next consoles from MS and Nintendo.
This is just more people trying to second guess the what the industry will do next. Did anyone get those early "Project Revolution' rumours right?
