U" already available, and even the likes of "Wii Fit U" and "Mario & Sonic at Soichi 2014" on the way, the Wii U doesn't get its "Mario Kart" or "Super Smash Bros." until 2014. "It's critical to win during the holiday season, where a huge amount of video game shopping is done," Hudak said. That would make the two games much less effective should they both emerge early in 2014.

I strongly agree with this part. I love platformers, my favourite genre actually, but damn the WiiU does not need anymore of them right now. It needs its premium exclusive fighting and racer games for a bit of genre diversity at least.
Exclusive platformers by second Xmas: New Super Mario Brothers U, New Super Luigi U, Sonic Lost World, Super Mario 3d World.
Exclusive Racing/Fighting games: Please be excited.
Seriously.... 2 holiday seasons and the entire year head start against next gen consoles spent without Smash and Kart. It's almost like Nintendo themselves are plotting against the WiiU. It's not as bad as Sony's screwup with not releasing GT5 till 4 years into the PS3's lifecycle I've got to admit, but it's disappointing non-the-less.
