there is like a million people on the internet talking about gaming ..consoles I mean but out there are like 200 million

I understand what Nintendo is doing, they know early adopters and die-hard Nintendo fans would buy the Wii U even if it released with virtually nothing. They're going to sell out at launch regardless. However, I think they, and their customers, would be best served by a big game being released for the system over Christmas. That might push some people into a Wii U who might otherwise buy a PS3/360.

Are there any dates for the launch window? I can't find any, other than a few with "next year" penciled in.

Right now they're trying to sell the hardware more than the software. They're trying to get people to buy into the controller. That's the focus. I think that works really well for some demographics but I can't see the core crowd jumping for it en masse. It's going to take games.

I'm also curious to see if third party publishers other than Ubisoft end up advertising for it. Can we really expect publishers to buy ads for games that have already released on other systems? Advertising, I think, is going to fall to Nintendo, and they're going to have to buy exposure much the same way as Microsoft and Sony. They're in direct competition now, let's see if they act like it.

lilbroex is perma-banned so no more hyper hype over anything Nintendo

I care!! Im super hyped!!!

If I remember correctly the launch window ends on March 2013.

What the hell did he do this time?  This guy never learns, lol

the hype will come in the form of sells, so wory not my good friend. the time is coming. the launch is near. the launch is near.

as far as vgc is concerned ... i'd say hype is at a all time low.

wii U, GTA V, ACIII, CoD, Halo, PSAS:BR, ps4/xbox720 rumors, NSMB wii U,  ...yet no one seems to really care. not really.

This thread actually got me hyped a bit. It reminded me of the games that are coming out :p
