The slight problem with that list is that a lot of those games are multiplatform. 
I know it's a crappy source, but from my experience most wii owners have at least one 360 or PS3 in their household. If the rumours are true that the WiiU is less powerful then the current consoles, then it begs the question why anyone would buy a new console to play games they can already play on their existing console with their existing friends on Live/PSN.
As much as the controller is interesting, the timing of the release and the content just seems too much like the Dreamcast for me. 

Well, I've already ripped the rumors to shreds myself.  I'm a tech head and the idea the Wii U is not even as powerful as the X360 or PS3 is just silly as hell.  To be blunt, it would be harder and cost more for the Wii U to less powerful than it would to be more powerful.

However, you referenced the Dreamcast on the basis that the Wii U isn't getting a game (specifically a game from EA as was the case with the Dreamcast) but as the list shows, it's getting games, lots of them and E3 hasn't even happened yet. 

Are you a developer?
I know it sounds absurd, but so far apparently two devs have said the Wii U isn't as graphically as powerful. It isn't that silly a concept depending on the price of the pad. They may be sacrificing console power to keep the overall package price down.

But most of the games it's getting aren't going to help sell it as they are available on existing consoles...As I said why would an Xbox owner get a new console and, let's say Last Light, when he can just pick up Last Light for the 360?
