My guess is that Sony or MS is behind this. Sony did this with the Sega Saturn and again with the Sega Dreamcast. They told retail stores that they had secret shoppers out making visits. If the secret shopper asked about a competing system and the store employee recommended the Sony system instead, they would have a chance to win a free trip to ???. Best Buy associates were trashing the Saturn left and right just as the PS1 came out and Electronic Boutique did the same with the PS2. Sony even had the balls to place a huge floor sign outside the entrance to all Electronic Boutiques on the release day of the Dreamcast stating the "Awesome Power" of the PS2 and "taking pre-orders now". This was a year before the PS2 was even released and the final specs weren't even set yet.
The named sources have said great things about the Wii U. Who exactly are these anonymous sources? Just wait for the Wii U to come out and be your own judge as too many people get paid by corporations to blog nowadays.
