That is the one line I cringe at.

They need big games this holiday to help push consumers from picking up other consoles. They need the same 3rd party content (except EA) and some great first party or other exclusives to make that upgrading consumer want to push off the MSony purchase to another year.

Why? I thought the glut of games supposedly planned for the holidays from the TOP SECRET MEMO (DO NOT SHOW TO ANYONE; NO GIRLS ALLOWED!!!) thing was ridiculous. Mario, Wind Waker, U Fit Bro?, etc., is plenty. What I don't want to see is another drought like the first six months of the Wii U's life. Pace that shit!

Currently the only Nintendo first party games schedule Oct to Dec is ZeldaWWHD. That's why.

The NEED the Mario game and MarioKart game. They won't create demand with the many multiplats and SEGA exclusives. Its just not going to happen.

The Yoshi game is fine to be pushed out as it won't sell consoles. So its a good Q12014 game.
Then 2014 can have the other games like X, Smash, Retro Game, and so forth.
