This is an excellent idea but discussed in an earlier thread.
My personal opinion is that there needs to be two competing hardware platforms.
Nintendo's power is in their IP. Why not leverage that into way more households than those that own a Nintendo console.
I'm looking at WiiU's sales and seeing a LOT of people who are not buying that should be buying. They sold THIRTY THOUSAND consoles WORLD WIDE last week...if that isn't creeping the fripping hell out of Nintendo, I do not know what does.
I have to say didn't see WiiU dropping under 50k in any week. It's new, it's interesting, and Nintendo brings fun.
Is it the advertising or is it too complex for what has become what people think is the default Nintendo user...the casual gamer?
