Can you feel the power? It is called a Phenomenom. Supposedly something of this magnitude haven't happened at E3 since the Wii. Why waste this hype on a struggling late console that even one of it's top devs admitted didn't worked as they hoped? Sacrifice the WiiU for the better of the NX.
Edit1: Consumer confidence might be hurt a bit... but not really. This game's hype is way bigger than the resulting dissapointment from delaying the WiiU version or even cancelling it.
