I'd like to know your opinion Superchunk? I think Wii U will sell its forecact of 5.5 million Wii U's; however, I am scared of what the system will offer after launch period as it is very vague almost non excistent. I bought a Wii U, got New Super Mario Bros U, Sonic, and Call of Duty and will satisfy my needs until the end of the year. Nonetheless, I'm hearing plenty of people that want to buy a Wii U but are waiting for 'good' games, do you think that Nintendo has something under their sleeves for 2013 or are we repeating the 3ds pattern? :s

I've heard this good games junk reply here where I live as well. I think these guys are just either Call of Duty nut-jobs or plain out fanboys/Nintendo haters (yes that's all it boils down to). They will get a Wii U eventually and say that they bought it for their girlfriend or something like that, but they will buy it eventually, and it wouldn't be for the 'good games', which the Wii U already has.

edit:

These people waiting for 'good games' expect Nintendo to release Mario in November, Pikmin in December, Metroid in January, Zelda in February, Bayonnetta in March, Wonderful 101 April, etc...
