So, I guess he's giving an early notice that EA will not bother to optimise their games beyond what the less capable of these new two consoles can do.

Couldn't be worse than Call of Duty Declassified for Vita.

Although I can't remember the last EA's game I purchased -- I don't have any in my collection other than Mirror's Edge -- this is terrible news to Nintendo. I sincerely hope they can excite me with this mooring's Nintendo Direct to buy a Wii U. They have to show a stream of impressive first party titles and exclusives. Also, they need some AAA support from third party publishers, otherwise their success in America and Europe will be severely restricted.

If Zelnick run Square-Enyx he would probably have to resign after so disappointing weak sales. :)

If true, I will buy a Wii U to play it. The system may be great, I don't know, but the software offering is lacking.

@DoctorsTardis Yes, it does makes sense and it might be the beginning of a new phase of E3. I can easily see how Nintendo (as well as Sony and Microsoft) can stage their conference at the date of their own convenience to maximize the impact without the influence of the competition's announcements.

If they make a remake, I hope it is for iOS or the Wii U as the touchscreen would be a great fit. That said, a new game would be great.

Considering launch lineups are usually rather weak, that's not saying much.

I can see how this new Zelda, with extreme tridimentional verticality, could easily be a new IP, which would never drive the kind of sales an establish successful franchise certainly will. That said, I am afraid Nintendo is too afraid to leave its comfort zone. I would certainly hope they would take a few more risks.

@Stebsis The problem is that you're describing us, readers of Gamespot that care enough to write in the comments.

What Dr. Zeschuk is arguing is that audience is not increasing and successful companies, such as Activision, are concentrating in a very small set of franchises for hardcore gamers. These are indicators of a shrinking market that might not be enough to sustain the industry for much long and the new consoles seems to be designed for this market and thus unable to expand it.
