Similar problem to the Xbox 360 back in 2005, where the 360 was criticized for apparently being a half generation leap over the Xbox and it would be washed away by the PS3 wave the following year. Until of course Gears of War came out and proved everyone wrong.

Nintendo needs a Gears of War to wow everyone and to assure that the Wii U is here to stay.

The PS3 was stronger than the 360 on paper but not when you put it to the test. The cell was never properly used and it only confused developers. Gears of War was supposed to be a multiplat but Microsoft paid Epic not to give it to Sony just like they paid Bioware not to give Mass Effect to Sony. One attempt failed but Microsoft will have to keep paying epic to keep making a trilogy that is obviously finished.
