In that case, here's my copy and paste.

Although Nintendo will release the new game console Wii U and the market will be continue to be invigorated by the increase of DLC, time is required before the next generation console cycle begins in earnest.

Sometimes I really, really hate my industry.  This is nothing but an author that either doesn't understand what the hell "begins in earnest" means or is just looking for hits.

Morons, I tell you.

Capcom said no such thing.

Even if that is the quote by Capcom, "in earnest" seems to me to say that, until there is more than one competitor attempting next gen, next gen really hasn't started.

He's not saying that next gen hasn't started or doesn't start with Wii U, he's saying it's not in full swing until all of them are out and moving more consoles than their predecessors.

Earnest: Resulting from or showing intense conviction. 

It begins in the home space with Wii U but 8th generation won't be the main market force until all 3 are out for a little while.  It's always been that way.
