The Wii U has a good line-up for the holiday, probably better than Xbox 360 and PS3, but the problem I see is what they have to offer for early 2013. Maybe some 3rd Party filler, who knows, but hopefully it's enough steam to make it to E3 2013, when I'm hoping some core franchises will be revealed.
Nintendo has always been a mysterious type of gaming company. They want the awe factor to be there when they release their HD Zelda and 3D Marios and Smash, but if it isn't ready to be seen, sadly they won't show it. Though, I was half-expecting a HD Zelda at this E3 because of the tech demo.
So I'm not angry or anything. Nintendo just wanted to cover the casual base first, offer teaspoons of core offerings with Pikmin, and hope it rides them into next year. Which is fine, but I'm earnestly hoping for some real meat that makes me really want to keep my Wii U in the living room and not in the closet.
If it's any consolation, the 3DS is looking incredibly good now. Looks like I'll be getting one soon.
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward = best game ever made.
