I'm just curious as to why so many people seem to be ignoring the fact that franchise debuts onto a newly releasing console often have things left out or are rushed/not 100% polished to get included in the launch line-up or that first holiday.  XBox 360's Madden NFL 07 was a stripped down abomination that did not sell a third as well as the same title on the previous gen XBox.  I played both titles, and I can confirm that the original XBox title was superior from personal experience.  Marvel: Ultimate Alliance which was part of the PS3 launch line-up was riddled with glitches not present in the XBox 360 or Wii versions and sold the worst of not just the 3 consoles of this gen, but worse than the PS2 and PSP versions as well.  Launch titles (or first holiday) are not always perfect, and do not always stack-up to the previous gen systems which developers have been developing on for years previously.  It has nothing to do with the system they are made on.  It has to do with a conscious decision by the developer to rush the game in order to either take advantage of launch window or holiday sales.  People are reading into the statement "it is 99% identical to other systems" to claim that the Wii U must therefore be weaker than current gen systems, which is an absurd conclusion.
