"And the PS4, priced $50 more than the Wii U? I mean, why would anybody buy a Wii U, you know, unless they just have to play Nintendo games?"

Full quote, for context. Since I imagine some people didn't know it, given that the source didn't bother.

and why would someone that doesn't just HAVE to play knack/killzone/infamous would buy a ps4 on it's first months? certainly not for the games that will also be available for wii u and ps360.

I don't know exactly what's coming to wiiU, but I think a lot of great 3rd party games aren't, plus both ms and sony have much better online and trophies/achievements, so I guess there are quite a few things. At any rate numbers will speak for themeslves. As it is wiiu (much like vita) is doing very badly, so seems to me he's stating the obvious once again.
