Of course it is made up. As it makes no sense.
It also makes no sense not to release great games on the Wii U if they offer unique experiences no where seen else.
Bayonetta 2 proves that there is an audience for "grown up" games.
The developers just have to make sure their costs are not running wild.

Bayonetta 2 is selling what its selling because of exclusive hype.

It's selling because it's a great game and it's an exclusive. A lot of gamers who like M rated games own a wiiu they just also own others systems so mature games need to be exclusive to sell well on wiiu. This is where I think Reggie and I are not on the same page. The controller is not a selling feature on the wiiu. The reason the system will make money, the reason anybody buys it is because it has a bunch of great exclusives games and laregly these games are quite different in style to what is available on ps4 and xbox one. But there's really nothing exciting or worthwhile about the hardware. The only positive about it is that because it's weaker they can sell it for cheaper than their competitors which makes it more digestable as a second system. I think that Nintendo would have been better off launching it with the gamepad pro and putting another 50 to 60 bucks into horsepower to make theirs games even better and make it cheaper and easier for 3rd parties to port their games over.

Being a good 2nd console is not a good thing. A great amount of gamers can only afford 1. And when they choose they want the console that gives them quantity, quality and variety.

I think for Nintendo it's a good thing right now to be that second system. Last gen around 50% of console gamers had more than one system. Until Sony and Microsoft are done with a business model of losing piles of money on the front end of a generation in order to hopefully break even or make some profit later on I don't think it's wise for a smaller company like Nintendo to compete directly. For Nintendo that could be like commiting "Hari Sega" a form of "Segguku".
