Yeah, I kinda see it as the same scenario as last time.
Wii was somewhat superior to PS2/Xbox and now Wii U is somewhat superior to PS3/360 (apparently).
Wii had a new control scheme and Wii U has a new control scheme.
Both are named practically the same, making it seem like Nintendo will continue with the same strategy. Wii is not a name that the core gamer loves either, so bad decision IMO.
The only difference being that the Wii U will release earlier this time, so it's as if the Wii had released earlier in order to get PS2/Xbox ports. I don't know if that's a strategy that's gonna get the core gamer.
Also, who's gonna get a Wii U to play core games ported from PS3/360 that doesn't already own a PS3 or 360?
Who knows, maybe Nintendo know what they're doing, but to me it doesn't make much sense. It seems like a half assed attempt to regain core gamers. It's like they said "let's do SOMETHING to at least give the impression that it will be a good console for the core gamer," while their main target is the same market the Wii had.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
