Too little too late from them. Failed to attract the casual crowd. Song loyalist were there along with some hardcore gamers and what not. But look at the hour. They are late to the show.

Why proof do we have that the Wii U will succeed with the casuals? The launch price of the Wii U is effectively $100 more than the Wii if you consider the fact that the basic model doesn't come with any games and the system itself doesn't have a Wii Sports equivalent. I counted the Wii as a $200 console plus Wii Sports which most people wanted anyway whereas the Wii U comes in at $299 naked.
