They didn't even have working prototype at E3 and there were not even alpha builds to show software.
If they launch in 2012 it will have as dreadfull launch lineup as PS3 had.

It's obvious to me they are not ready for 2012 launch and only astronomical drop in Wii sales and 3DS rough start forced them to show it so early.


Man your being alittle pessimistic, its my job to be the pessimist...geez lol!

Anyways THQ said they have DarkSiders2 running on WiiU and that it only took them 5-weeks to get everything up and running on the WiiU and its new controller. Nintendo is giving developers another year at least to get software ready, I don't see how Nintendo would launch with fewer then 10 launch titles.

Look at UbiSoft just unvieling WiiU exclusive Killer Freaks From Outer Space. The game looks well developed and their is still a year left at least till launch. As Khan said many third parties have had early dev kits for rumoured up to three years. That is more then enough time to build several great games.

Also Nintendo didn't show any of their own software, infact they didn't even show the third party software. I don't think this was done because Nintendo lacked the software, that third parties didn't have anything. It was done strategically to keep the consoles power under raps. THQ even said they had DarkSiders running on WiiU yet Nintendo chose to show PS3 footage. Nintendo is purposely hiding the consoles power. I'm sort of suprised that Nintendo let UbiSoft show Killer Freaks From Outer Space!

Nintendo will have plenty of software ready for launch next year!

Do you even belive what you are writting ?If dev-kits are in hands of developers then Sony/Microsoft already know what power will Nintendo have.

NDA are one thing but friends,leeks and contacts are reality of any business.
