No.
They've already had 'target boxes' for awhile now.
Having actual dev kits gives them a more final version to continue work on for the next 10 months.
This is standard procedure and the reason why 1st year games don't ever look/run as good as games in later years.
Basically, the first year games are going to be upgraded PS360 games that will be noticeably better than this gen, but also noticeably worse than later games in next gen. (same thing happenned this gen)
This is going to be the same for WiiU.
Many multiports accross all platforms in HD, with next-gen stuff looking better, running smoother, and maybe a new feature or two. Along with a handful of 1st party next-gen exclusives to help push them off properly.
MS has surely been working on a big game already for launch as well as Nintendo.
All this does is help the argument for a 2012 launch... not 2013. If hardware is finalized to the point that a solid dev kit is out by end of this year... it means others have had the pre-kits for awhile now.
