[QUOTE="Wild_Card"]i think the WiiU is about 5 to 6 years late my self, imo its what the wii should have been. now let the hateful replies start lol :p. Nut all jokeing aside, I think ninty should get the wiiU out on shelves ASAP. with the very real posabilty that MS and SONY will be releaseing a more powerful system with in the next couple years i think it would good for ninty to have as big of a head start as they can get, build up as large a userbase as they can to intice 3rd party devs to put there AAA games on the Wiiu even after the others have released there systems. if the user base on the wiiU is huge enough with a large enough core type gamer base then the 3rd parties will feel its well worth putting there games on the wiiU even if that means it being a bigger job down gradeing the games to run on the wiiU "if the others systems are considerbly more powerful".

Not exactly a hateful reply, but if the Wii would have became the Wii U, it would have eventually been the GameCube. lol The timing of the Wii couldn't have been any better for Nintendo, and I'm sure that the system could have given Nintendo a few more healthy years had Nintendo supported the thing better the past two and a half years. In North America, the system is pretty much neck-and-neck in monthly sales with the 3DS at the moment, a platform that has received FAR more support than the Wii in recent memory. To me, that's an indication that the plug was pulled too early on the Wii.
Which leads me to the Wii U, which I think is being released too early, but since Nintendo has already showed its card to the gaming world, the Wii U has to establish a healthy userbase within the one year or so period it's the new console on the market. That much I agree with you on. I'm not even sure WITH such a userbase that the Wii U will always have strong third party support, but without it, there's no doubt that publishers and developers won't be giving the Wii U a great deal of love once the next wave of systems are released. The problem is that the Wii U and the software lineup it possesses has so much to prove in what will likely be a relatively short period of time, it's difficult to pinpoint how and where it's going to take off.
good point, i suppose had they made the wii as powerful as the other two systems it would have raised the price and prob prevented the "casual support "not that that would have broke my heart lol".
