Not my imagination at all. By the time the PS4 and 720 are released we should have seen the releases of Nintendo Land, NSMB U, ZombiU, Lego City Undercover, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Monster Hunter 3G Ultimate, Wii Fit, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD, 3D Mario and Mario Kart 8...plus a shedload of titles from indie developers available from the eShop and the same high profile cross generation 3rd party multiplatform titles that the PS4 and 720 will be getting such as Assassin's Creed IV and Watch Dogs.
What's most important though is that the Wii U could be the go-to place for indie developers thanks to Nintendo giving tens of thousands of pounds worth of software and middleware free with each dev kit, including Greenhill's MULTI IDE, Autodesk middleware, Havok middleware and a licence for Unity 4.
Nobody has ever done that before, and both Sony and Microsoft really need to step up their game to attract indie developers. Sony have made a bit of an effort by agreeing with Unity to bring Unity tools and support to the PS4 but developers still need to fork out for the licence.
Nintendo are also rumoured to be giving developers a similar cut that Steam sales give them, 70/30 in favour of the developer.
