There's no manipulation here. Nintendo had executives of some of the biggest third parties on stage, and they (not just Nintendo) said that their games are planned to come to Wii U. For the purpose of my argument it doesn't matter whether or not that ended up being the case, because the conversations on VGC at the time were made on the assumption that the games would be coming.

Cool. And a number of their games came to the console. Still, I remember clearly the unveiling of the console and the feeling I got when I learned about the specs. I felt that Reggie thought I was a complete idiot when he kept repeating that they are the most powerful on the market, that now they are the top dog and all core games will come their way because of this beefed out hardware. Who was he trying to fool? It was obvious at that point in time that it wouldn't hold a candle to the coming PS4/XO (you know, the actual competitors of the Wii U) and that multiplats would suck and never sell on such an inferior console. He was presenting the Wii U as a competitor to PS360 in terms of power and was proud that they had them beaten. Awesome Nintendo. Great job.

Nintendo was all talk, but never delivered what they promised and that's why they got what they got. They deserve everything they get this gen.
