Reminds me of the sort of 'support' the Wii got in the early days. It's not the flood of third party support that had been rumoured; it feels weak, limited and very non-commital.

Power enough to produce 3rd party parity will lead to a flood of support all its own. Perhaps a poorly optimized flood, but a flood all the same. All the random junk that hits all consoles will hit there too, and that's the important takeaway

Parity will last for about a year (during which time WiiU looks to be getting a mix of old ports, day-and-date multiplats and some exclusives, which sounds like early years Wii to me), but then what happens when PS4/720 come around?

That is the big question, but depends on too many factors we can't reason out. The guy from THQ is claiming that Wii U is definitely more powerful than PS360, but not documenting by how much (my guess is Wii U is to PS360 as Wii is to PS2), but then there's the claim from Kaz a while back that PS4 won't be as radical an advancement as the PS3, and then the question of whether 3rd party games sell well on Wii U, how competitive Wii U can be with PS4/720

The point is this will at least give them a chance to build something resembling third party momentum, a chance they haven't even had a fair shot at since the early N64 days
