What real 'next gen' is there actually in the Wii U...?!

And that approach, now that I think about it, has been done many times before.  The N64 facing off against Tomb Raider and Resident Evil in 1996,  The PS2's launch games facing off against Jet Set Radio and Shenmue, the PS3 launching against Gears of War, or the Vita launching against Mario Kart 7 and 3D Land.  When the competition arrives, I think Nintendo will release the Kraken on their asses.  The question is:  will people overlook the Wii U's best games (like they did with the Dreamcast) or will they embrace the console and its games like they did with the PS2.  2nd gen Wii U titles will likely be on par or better than launch games for the PS4/720.

That's what I've been saying for quite some time now :P But then Nintendo goes and does to opposite of my advice and announces NSMBU! That's a title they could have waited with till holiday 2013!! THAT would have destroyed everything the PS720 had to throw at WiiU :P But I guess we'll have to settle for Mario Kart next holiday season ^^ but will that be enough?

That's the point. Start with something that the competition has no hope of countering before they have a chance of even countering it, then in 2013 you show the upmarket that you can kick ass there, too.
