@spurgeonryan: I'm concuring with NintendoPie; we're only talking :) it's all in good fun!
@NintendoPie: don't say Wii U's only gonna be 30% more powerful!
How do Nintendo think they will ever win over the hardcore gamers if they have underpowered hardware?! I for one will get a Wii U for sure - I'm really intruiged by that new awesome controller - but hardcore gamers care about the graphics! I don't think the PS4 and Xbox720 will be 100% stronger than PS360, but they'll ATLEAST be 50% stronger...
And, I really have to side with the Pachter... Nintendo has got to get much better online sevices! Well, if they wanna compete with sony and microsoft for the core-gamers anyways...
To get the core-gamers they'll need: better graphics and better online services - this in turn will get more 3rd party support, which will help getting the core-gamers...
On another note, if/when I'm getting a 3DS this is the games I'd like to play on it:
Zelda: OoT
Mario Land 3D
Star Fox 3D
Rayman Origins (seems awesome actually!)
Hopefully there will come more games I'll wanna dig in my teeth in...
