They're a known quantity at this point. People can act like a new Zelda being announced or a new entry in franchises that have been around for 20+ years is some crazy surprise but fact is we all basically know what's coming to WiiU. Even Star Fox only took a 1 gen break and Metroid would be same case. They just don't surprise. By comparison look at Sony. Before last gen they didn't have Uncharted, Souls, Resistance, LBP, Journey, TLoU, and many more memorable properties. That's more creativity and successful new IP than Nintendo has had for 3 gens.
Nintendo is the Bond franchise. It's usually pretty solid but never all THAT exiting because it has been just steady for so long. Sony is Marvel studios. It's always a little different but usually I like what I get. MS is Michael Bay btw but for the purposes of this discussion I want to emphasize the first 2. I'll watch Bond movies but I'm seeing Marvel in theaters and getting the blurays. I buy Nintendo systems later and cheaper while I buy Playstation near launch. This gen I waited till WiiU was $200 and have only kept Kart and Smash for it because they have the lasting value of local MP which is one area Sony does lack in. I don't know I'll probably buy their new system but I get less enthusiastic every gen about them. Smash just felt like same old same old to me same with Mario Kart. They're very refined but not very WOW at this point.
