On the other hand, it's the platform where you get every single multiplat game on the list.
Just for a little balance, only one 360 exclusive at retail, but XBLA will be brimming with them as usual. I'd also be surprised if Puppeteer actually makes it to retail outside of Japan, PSN being a far more likely candidate IMO.
Downloadable titles should never get forgotten. Toki Tori 2 will be keeping my Wii U busy over Christmas

Microsoft isn't going to waste time releasing games for the 360 next year because it's a dumb strategy. All those projects are now Xbox 3 games. Like Ryse, for example. I'm certain that will re-debut as an Xbox 3 launch title and it'll be a controller and kinect 2 game.
Microsoft has begun building a large number of teams and studios to develop Xbox 3 games and are planning games with studios they've worked with like Ruffian, Remedy, and Playground.

I need to play The Last of Us right goddam now.
A lot of people seem to be completely missing the decent Kinect stuff that will be coming out on it.
Yes, decent Kinect stuff.
In the very least, that Panzer Dragoon not-sequel, Double Fine... whatever that is (that had the dubstep minigame), to name but a few. Unless that list is AAA only, but then, there are a LOT of PC games listed that aren't AAA (I know Gone Home certainly isn't AAA).

It's already 100% confirmed to be retail worldwide.
I agree Sony's strategy only makes sense if they're not planning on releasing PS4 next year. Although they may also be trying to establish two new IPs (Beyond, TLOU) with their current big userbase in the hope they'll carry the fans over to PS4 for the sequels. Still, they could have upgraded TLOU to next-gen, given it a visual make-over and made it an outstanding PS4 launch title. So, the decision is still a little baffling.

Neither has been officially cancelled.

Someone in the know said not to expect the 5th Forza to be on time next year.
Don't know what to think, i would hope it's a 720 launch title anyway.

Sony has been doing a pretty good job of interesting exclusives this gen.
Install base. They'd rather launch an established franchise with a new console I'd imagine, though this gen they didn't really do that.

Neither have been officially cancelled. TDT was dropped by its publisher, but earlier this year they announced that they'd partnered with a company named Doobic to create PC and tablet versions of the game. So it sounds like its been picked up by someone. As far as P2 goes, that in development hell. No way is it coming out next year.
This made me laugh and cry at the same time, good job

Why the fuck did I buy a wii u?
They showed the thing off at two E3's, but had nothing but a mini game collection and another nsmb game ready for launch and most of 2013.

Because you wanted to play Nintendo games?
I don't know... It seems like it already has an interesting lineup for 2012, and Nintendo havn't even announced their fall lineup yet.
For Pikmin 3 silly!

For all the "enhanced ports with exciting new touch screen features!"
Or Mario.
Probably the last one

But early in a console's lifecycle is the best time to launch new IPs.
Well before launch we knew none of those multiplats were coming, so nothing new really. Still sucks donkey's balls but what can you do? I guess give your money to MS or Sony by buying the games on those platforms.
Nintendo can't be happy with this situation. It's abysmal.
Let's revisit in 8 months when we hear about Durango and Orbis games that are coming. If Wii U is not on the platform list at that time, then we should start worrying.

Do you only play console exclusives?
Being a new Wii U owner, I don't really care for multiplats, because I'll use my Wii U the same way I used my Wii.
Sits in entertainment hub where its invisible until new Nintendo game or friends who are very casual come over and want to play Mario Kart. Maybe bust open when some good homebrew comes out.
The Wii U had a unique advantage over the Wii in that I dont have to reconjigger the entertainment hub to access it. thanks to the pad.
Nintendo probably hasn't been happy with their 3rd party support for the past three systems. Doesn't seem like it's changing much. Yet fan expectations remain the same...
I'll save you the pain of waiting 8 months to be disappointed: Nintendo will not be getting meaningful (western) 3rd party support when Durango launches.
I still expect at least a couple of those red X's to turn to green ticks once Nintendo decide to actually announce stuff for next year, but I think that picture is generally quite representative of the third party picture on Wii U.
I love my Wii U and expect to have plenty have fun with it for my money, but anyone who doesn't own at least one other system is clearly going to miss out on a lot.

Highly misleading. The consoles have many more exclusives than that, the PC list has nearly every indie release on it, where are the XBLA/PSN releases?
List is also missing:
Warface - Crytek's F2P FPS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrLN0ZHcI7U&feature=g-hist
Marvel Heroes Online - diablo-like MMO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJO7jCqW9Fk
Starforge, but dunno if they manage to release it next year, although they are releasing every patch to the public, so late beta will be there for sure.

X: Rebirth - space-sim that should be released this year, but disappeared. Egosoft what are You doing! I'm still waiting for it.

Actually PC list doesnt even have 10% of indie titles included.

I'm sure it's been said a bunch of times, but Prey 2 and Devil's Third are pretty much cancelled.
Uh, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101?

But where's my handhelds and imports?! Not hugely useful to me as is.

Uh, dude, Macs are essentially rebranded PCs, too.
And Linux isn't even "rebranded" stuff, it's a straight forward PC OS.
You are the hilarious one.
Squadron 42 is probably the most exciting piece of software in years as far as I'm concerned.
and that's ignoring a lot of other mildly interesting (Shadowrun Return) or unknown but potentially awesome (Mount&Blade II) stuff.
Also missing for the PS3:
BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma
Dragon's Crown
Kingdom Hearts HD Collection
Final Fantasy X HD
Final Fantasy XIV
There are probably more of those still. There aren't even any PSN ganes on that list. What was that cool looking PSN game Sony showed at the same event where Puppeteer was shown first?

We could debate which one is the dumb strategy. Releasing a big new IP on a new gen with small user base or setup the next gen sequel by releasing the new IP on a console with a big user base. Play Last of Us on PS3 and then you have to buy a PS4 to get the sequel. Much more convincing than buying a console on promises and an IP you don't even know if you'll like.
Sometimes you need to realize that the majority of the market isn't GAF and that a recognized name is going to do much more than a new critically acclaimed new IP.
How many people outside of GAF really bought the first Uncharted or Assassin's Creed at launch, compared to how many bought the sequels at launch?
Anyway, it has nothing to do with Microsoft's strategy concerning the next Xbox, since we had like what, 3 exclusives this year? Were they already preparing for the next Xbox? No, there's a problem with Microsoft and exclusives. A game that comes out on PC and Xbox isn't an exclusive, and Microsoft seems to rely on the 3rd parties that do that.
If you already have a PC and are deciding wether to go Sony or Microsoft, those exclusives matter a lot.
Does seem that way. Especially if Nintendo's plans to expand really take hold next year. I firmly believe talk about getting back the "core" was never about the "core" in general but about getting back or stopping the Nintendo core from leaving. Nintendo having a system with enough power to get parity with games like Madden, Call of Duty, and a few others while still providing Nintendo made or backed exclusives was likely the real goal. The idea that we were going to get many true third party games was never a real possibility I'm thinking now. It's one I've accepted as well.
I'm sticking with my PC in addition to my Wii U going forward as I don't have the money or time to get the next Sony and Microsoft systems.
