No new games? Can't sell a system without a game to play.
I bought a Wii U thinking Nintendo was going to support it in the near term, but they have no plans to release games until mid 2013 to xmas 2013. So we get stuck with a system that will be 1 year old by the time we get to play a worthwhile game, and that game will have been designed for a system designed in 2010. If anyone thinks nintendo console generation last past 2015, you'll be crazy.
