How do you think the Wii U will do its first 3 months? Based on what we know now.

And while a person buying WiiU won't re-buy Batman AC that they already played a year ago, they might buy all future 3rd party games on their new console, similar to how new blu-ray player owners won't re-buy their entire movie library, but purchase all future content on blu-ray.

I dont even think they will do that. IMHO, the PS360 crowd the ones who have heavily invested in the online component, will not want to buy games on another system. Especially 360 owners, who have invested time, energy and money into LIVE. I dont see them abandoning achievements/trophies, their friends list, whatever perks they had being LIVE or PSN+ members. Even if Ninty got people on the hype train I dont see them having people buy software over the other two. Unfortuanatly for NInty they have ALOT of catching up to do and im not just talking hardware

Concerning games that are very online-centric (COD, etc), I agree.  I really don't ever expect WiiU to be the "go to" place for COD online play.  But remember, not all 3rd party games focus on an online component... and if the system sells well enough to the gamers who are not platform loyal, it could prove to do well for itself in that area.
