To challenge the Wii-U or play catch up with the Wii-U? lol

By releasing a console Fall 2013 (Halloween-Christmas) Nintendo WILL have some serious quality software ready on board that holiday (for Wii-U and 3DS). I don't know if it will be wise to have a console release without a killer 1P. In other words can rushing a console release be a good thing or bad thing?

As of right now I don't think we have any reason to believe Microsoft and Sony are in direct competition with nintendo. I don't fully know the capabilties of the system but basing it on what we've seen so far I think things will pan out similar to this gen; aside from the yearly releases (COD, FIfa), the Wii U is going to be recieving different support from 3rd parties. I.E you'll have to pick up a Orbis/Xbox8 if you want to play Mass Effect 4, Final Fantasy XV, GTA 6. Although I expect the WIi U to do really well in JApan and possibly recieve most of next -gens Japanese console games and many of them may even exclusive. Just not mainline FF.

You should check out my link in my sig and read why PS4 won't be a massive leap over Wii U, and therefore, in the long run, why x3ox won't have better 3rd party support ;) And also pay superchunk a visit in his thread about Wii U vs PS4 vs x3ox specs =)
