Back in June, everyone was talking about the Wii U, Nintendo’s first video game console with high-definition graphics unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.

Since then, no one’s heard much more about Wii U, which has a tablet screen for a controller and can be used in conjunction with Wii remotes. Nintendo must be hunkering down to put the finishing touches on it before it hits stores sometime next year.

But Peter Moore, the video game industry veteran who was promoted to be Electronic Arts’ chief operating officer in August, told Reuters this week that everything appears to be on track with the Wii U, at least from his perspective working for a publisher making games for it.

“There are no indications that there’s anything that feels like it’s off target,” Moore said. Nintendo’s stock has taken a beating in recent months and its share price is approaching its low for the year.

Moore said he will be visiting Nintendo’s hometown of Kyoto next week to check on how the console is shaping up.

“From our perspective right now, specs are a big deal,” he said, adding that during his trip, he will looking to find out more about the gadget’s graphic and computer processing units, its price and when it might be shipped.

Moore, who has experience launching consoles from his days at Microsoft, says Nintendo was smart to incorporate a tablet into the console with the Wii U.

“No one thinks its going to replace an iPad 2 but it is playing into what a consumer feels comfortable with,” Moore said.

In the past, publishers have backed away from dedicating too much content to Nintendo platforms, since the Japanese company tended to use its consoles to push its own software titles. But make no mistake, EA is on board with the Wii U, Moore said.

“Our teams are working on it around the world. Our key franchises will be there. We’ve made that commitment to Nintendo.”

It will Fail watch im predicting it when PS4 and 720 come out the Wii U will be irrelevant compared to the two.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Any pertucular reason? Or did you just come here to troll a little bit. Amazing how the first comment is a Nintendo hater...you guys work fast.

PS4 and 360 were to stomp Wii...but here we are 5 years later, and Wii is still going strong.

..and so it begins again. 

I can't wait for Wii U Bingo.

There's nothing wrong with GuiltySpartan77 predicting that the Wii U will fail, it's his opinion and it doesn't make him a troll. I thought Kinect and Move would fail and they did. I also believe the Vita and the 3DS will fail to reach the sales numbers of their predecessors.

To each their own opinion but you could at least give an explanation.

Now for the real reason I quoted you. I couldn't help but notice you are playing the Sims 3 ... I LOVE THE SIMS 3! I cannot wait for the Sims 3 Pets later this year :3!

Actually yes it does make him a troll. This is NOT a poll of how the Wii U will perform. This is a Ninteno thread, about a Nintendo product. The title clearly states this thread is about EA loving Wii U. Predicting a failure has nothing to do with this.

Even if this WAS a poll about how the Wii U will perform. How can a person say Wii U will fail when you don't even know the specs yet, not only that he says Wii U will lose to PS4 and 720 and there isn't even real credable rumors about them.....that Sir is concidered a troll.

FYI the meaning of troll

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,^[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response^[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.^[4] 

he's saying they love it but yet has to make a trip to japan to get more info on it? isn't that a little weird? although i suppose it could just be love at first sight...

Just give me Battlefield 4 or a special BF3 version and i`m happy!
