Compare playing Batman Arkham City on your PC to playing on the Wii U (in person for both versions of the game).

You'll think the PC version is boring after a personal experience like that, I guarantee it.

Mh, there are rumors that DKC:TF will be delayed to 2014. According to some retailers like Amazon the release date is switched from "December 6" to "undetermined". Well, do you think there is any truth in this?

I don't know anything about it being true or not, but I think it would make some sense strategically. Use the game to fill in the time between holiday and mario kart.

Nintendo's offering the game earlier digitally and DKC is still slated to come out this year, but that is subject to change

Patapon = DDR

SotC = Basically the same as every monster movie ever

Ico = I walk my niece home from school every day and I didn't win any game of the year awards

Well, I think it's more likely BS. Nintendo's gonna advertise Donkey Kong for christmas.

Excerpt:

There will also be television ads for major franchises, including Mario, Donkey Kong, and Zelda. These will run “continuously from half-term to Christmas.” 

I think Sony is only going 3rd party in order to support their Xperia tablets and phones. These happens to run on Android OS. So they will end up working with all Android based devices. They will most likely not be on iOS, Windows or anything with the name Nintendo on it.

The only reason we can give Valve any time of the day is due to the quality of the service and the fact they're an actual GAME DEVELOPER.

They can make exclusives for their Steam Infrastructure. They can put some push on Sony and MS (high end) if they get their dices rolled in a line

This wont have any bearing on Nintendo even if Valve makes a low entry proposition.

Nintendo succeds and fails based on their own merit with igniting the wonder and interest in their consumers.

See the problem with this is this thing still only appeals to the market base that the Xbox had pre-kinect.Its complex. The fact that Valve has no established market presensce also contributes to this. They have a huge uphill battle, but if they can capitalize on any major shifts in the gaming industry I think they can position themselves well to carry the ball  if the others drop it.

Yeah, I have to admit, I was hoping the third announcement was about Half Life 3. Instead it was an interesting idea for a controller.

I know. Such a disappointment.
