E3 was in June, Wii U will likely launch November, from the way that adds up, it's 17 months for those developers that were told nothing before E3 - hardly "less than a year".

 

Add to the fact that not all developers were told so late (at a guess, the ones that made NSMB:Mii and all the other tech demos had some idea of how to program for the console and what it was capable of). 

Why do you think Wii U will launch in November, where did you get that idea from?

3DS was first shown during E3 2010 and it was launched this March. Less than a year for Wii U is just about right.

Plus NSMB:Mii is a tech demo, that's what it is. It was not even using the HW specs fully, in all fairness it was just a ported NSMBWii engine with the new controller tacked on.


Of course, it is possible that the Wii U will launch before November, but the 3DS was shown in a much more complete form than the Wii U was at their respective E3's, so March would be an incredibly surprisingly early date for it to launch, NOT the expected.

 

@ bolded - so you admit that developers were using the HW specs partially before E3, Excellent! We are now in complete agreement.
