Yeah. I really wanted to buy a Wii U this year. But unless they provide a compelling bundle and/or price, that might slip into 2014 once Mario Kart 8 comes out. Gotta have that.
I'm a little surprised they didn't lead with MK8. That game is a system seller for many many many people. Maybe they are planning to let the storm of 2013 systems pass. Or maybe it just really isn't ready. Seems like you would devote more resources to a system mover though.
