I don't think price of Wii U devkits is the issue here....but its a start. Good job Nintendo!

I think for Indie and small developers it is a huge issue.

The devkits cost over $20k.

Well if indies are getting free devkits then it is a huge plus. But indie developers generally  have a small staff and limited resources so if given the option to make a PS4 game or a Wii U game, which will they choose?

Well if both kits are free them look at install base. Considering you could release a wii u game by fall to almost 4 million people or 0 ps4 players. Now after ps4 releases we still need to wait and see how it sells first before assuming 10million first day. 

Naw man. In his head, it's already laid out perfectly. The numbers, the parade, everything. Just like that one time, when Sony was about to release that one super powerful handheld that was supposed to tear Nintendo a new one. In his head, it still happened. And it always will. So glorious.
