That joystiq article about Wii U digital games not being tied to a system is dated from the end of January. I'm wondering if that part of the article is just joystiq leaping to a conclusion.

It's not a leap to a conlucsion. Iwata himself said it.

Iwata also didn't go into the same level of detail about how Wii U online purchases would work, saying only that all games will be sold both in stores and as a download on day one for the new console.

Reached for comment this morning, Nintendo of America officials declined to address whether the Wii U's online purchases would be tied to the console, but reiterated the importance of this shift in sales.
