Stop quoting him guys.

It's pretty clear that the Wii U needs more than a kick-ass Direct show. We can't play promisses, as good as they might look. I think Nintendo needs to start a promotion right about yesterday or the U will hit rock bottom in about 2 weeks. How about getting a Wii U for free with every 3DS purchase? That should do the trick LOL

Although you were half joking (I'd gladly get two systems for $200 :p), I think you do bring up a good point.

As balls-to-the-wall as that Nintendo Direct was, proving that they're going all in...a lot of the games announced didn't even get solid release dates. Next-gen Zelda, Yoshi, X, Smash Bros 4, 3D Mario and Mario Kart all have the potential to push more units, but only after people have an idea as to when they're coming out.

I think there are a lot of people who have already bought the Wii U anticipating that stuff. It's not like they weren't coming out at all. I agree with Metallicube; we won't have a good sense of how the system is doing until people can actually play that stuff.
