Wii U has sold about 4 million consoles so far.... With a good E3 they could have 8-10 million sold prior to PS4 being released in the west (it won't be this year I hear) which means 3rd party developers WILL port games for it, and I reckon they will look pretty good.... Time will tell.....
As for the nextbox being always online and having nil backward compatability or 2nd hand games? HA what
a stinking pile of turd! Throw in a RROD and be done with it!
