badgenome & happydolphin, can both of you start your own thread sometime about nintendo & the core audience, so you can both write your manifestos. This forum is about Nintendo specifically holding back information about certain key launch titles for the Wii U. It's not about your treatise & deep beliefs about Nintendo & the "core" gamer. Please address the specific topic at hand; if there are ket titles like Black Ops2 or Madden for the wii U launch, then why is Nintendo withholding information?

The TGS is for the japanese audience, so if you thought that heavy-hitting western games will be announced there, for any case other than COD (which is actually quite big in Japan), you'll be dissappoint.

Many of the big american games will be there for the WiiU, but Nintendo is trying to surprise us. However, that's a big mistake when many people are looking with intent at their E3 performance. Sadly, hobbyists use conferences and hype to get them onboard for consoles, and let anti sentiments linger. I'm not for it, but that's how they are.

Nintendo seeking that audience needs to be sensitive to things like that, and yes they withheld info on the WiiU and it was a mistake.

Cheers

Your whole hypothesis here is wrong. Real "hobbyists", and i'm assuming you mean "video game players", will buy a new console if it looks promising at launch, not if it looks promising at the e3 press conference. Real "hobbyists" read reviews, try it out, and then make up their own mind. They don't make up their mind based on a press conference.
