When they launched the Wii everyone knew about Mario Galaxy and other titles more than a year in advance. That takes some buzz away. They've learned their lesson. This year's marketing focused on just Wii U hardware, and the launch titles Mario Bros and NintendoLand, with a hint of Bayonetta and Pikmin. Next year's E3 will be a blowout of at least 2 or 3 huge titles like Mario Universe. They'll need that to compete with the reveal of rival systems. If they had already blown their announcement load this year with those games, they would have nothing to excite people. As it stands, while their competitors are talking about systems that will probably have a weak (or at least not groundbreaking) launch line up, Nintendo can talk about some hi-end software.
