For those predicting a 2015 release date for the PS4, xbox720- NO FREAKING WAY.
Right now Nintendo has the almost the entire casual console gaming audience. The only think keeping Microsoft and Sony ahead is their ability to play more hardcore modern games.
The WiiU would have THREE years to steal back most if not all of the hardcore consumers. Microsoft and Sony are not that stupid. Does anybody really think that they were telling the whole truth when they talked about their business plan. Secrets make money you know.The WiiU won't steal back any hardcore gamers. The WiiU is a half step up, not a whole generation leap. The WiiU will be compatible with this generation of games. Darksiders 2, and other games that I can't remember. It has a unique gimmick that will be interesting for most likely, FIRST PARTY games. First party games are the only reason why hardcore gamers will buy a WiiU.
For the Zelda's, the Mario's, not because it's going to be so hardcore. The WiiU is basically an add-on to the Wii. It will add something to the Wii's experience.
But when the next generation of consoles come out, the Xbox720 and PS4, the WiiU won't be able to compete head to head probably. The hardcore gamers will buy either an Xbox720 or a PS4, because that's where the real hardcore games are. The WiiU might not even be able to have newly developed titles on it. The WiiU might be outdated for third party games.
In which case, it's just a system for First party titles. IF it can go head to head with the PS4 and Xbox720, well then hardcore gamers will still pick up an Xbox or Playstation. Why? Because Xbox and Playstation are way better at some things than Nintendo. Like online play.
