During its 41 minute Direct, Nintendo showed off a staggering eight exclusives that won’t ever be found on another (1) console. No timed exclusives. No questions about the future or backdoor promises that a game will slip through to another console someday. These are games you will not find anywhere else unless you purchase a Wii U, and it is an exciting list of new surprises and previously anticipated games alike (2).

(1) What about the countless staggering 3rd party games that won't ever be found on WiiU?

(2) The direct had one unannounced game (a sequel that barely changes from the previous titles) while the competition showed tons of new IPs.

Nintendo is clearly lagging behind.

I may not necessarily agree with the author's reasons, but you seriously cannot think that 1st parties and 3rd parties are the same thing.  First party games for Nintendo have always been their selling points.  Even if the Wii U had ALL the exclusives on the other consoles, they still wouldn't have had as much of an effect as Nintendo's own first party games in terms of system selling.

Your second point, the 3D Mario and Mario Kart games were technically not games we knew anything about except for the fact that they said "yeah, we will be showing them."  Almost everyone knew they would be coming at some point, they just confirmed the showing at e3.

Clearly you always have something to say, even when it doesn't make much sense to make the comments.
