Whats the more impressive is Sony fanboys saying the Wii U is doomed. Seriously... how did things go with the PS3? Epic short memory.

The difference is the PS3 was a power house but too expensive and no one outside the inner circle of Sony did know how to develop for it.At the same time Microsoft was with a comparable console that aimed for the same gaming community already 1 year out and the complete oposite in terms of "developer friendly".
But 3rd Party was eager to work on the PS3 and especially after Sony did put out new SDKs and lowered the price with the PS3 Slim everyone was happy.
On the other side you have right now EPIC with the Unreal Engine 4 aka the Engine that will be used the MOST again in this Gen saying "Lol only for NextGen but you have UE3 and hope someone is nice enough to port the games"
Same goes for Frostbite 3 Engine aka the Engine that is probably 2nd behind the UE4 in terms of games it will be used for.
The console is already missing out on the 2 most used Engines...
Call of Duty didn't sell on the WiiU so Activision will probably won't waste much on it either.
Don't compare the WiiU situation to the situation the PS3 was in.
Nintendo can lower the console price to 5$ but the games won't come cause the Engines won't run on it.With some games right now of course its different cause they are transition games for Current and NextGen but you can see what the general opinion is when someone talks about "Only NextGen Games".
The boosts it will get with such small games like Lego are comparable to the boosts Microsoft got through J-RPGs in Japan.Didn't help much either over the long run.
If you buy a Nintendo Console you do it these days for the Nintendo IPs and a handful of others and thats it.

That's a silly argument. If the price was lowered to $5.00, Nintendo would sell as many as they could have produced. Do you really think that those engines wouldn't be ported at that point? Maybe companies really don't like money then.
