I think the wii U is not a true next gen system, no matter what nintendo's PR and marketing department wants us to believe...i say it's nothing more than a wii HD...a lot of developers have already come out and said some of the processing power is weaker than XBOX360...and the initial launch 3rd party games are mostly ports of current gen games with glitches and issues..there's some controversy right now with some sega releases, with the wii u version performing the poorest, and i've read some insider reports from credible sources the tech inside the wii u is 4-6 years old...superior tech in some respects than xbox360 and ps3..but they intentially did not go with true cutting edge power in order to keep costs down and profitable...wii u at it's core has processors etc. from 2007 or so..not 2012 models..and even the controller screen is LCD...it should have been at very least OLED...I love nintendo..wii u will shine with it's first party exclusives..but it will be left behind when the true next gen systems come out in the next 2 years from sony and microsoft...WII U = WII HD with a fancy controller set up..and that's all there is too it.feel free to chime in
