I'm sorry for the Nintendo hardcore fans in here, but I truly believe that Nintendo needs to have a lesson taught to them on this one. They shouldnt develop a platform that only they can understand. Don't get me wrong, I truly like the Wii U's concept with the gamepad and everything, but besides Nintendo's awesome first party tittles I wanna play other games as well (and saddly I don't have the money to buy multiple consoles)
Now, I'm sure most of Nintendo fans will be content with just 1st party games, but how many truly "Nintendo hardcore" gamers are there in the world? 20 millions? 30 millions? I guess time will tell.
At this point, I think only China could make the Wii U a sucess, but then again (just as the article says) chinesse market could focus on the Wii instead.
