C'mom pezus, this news from 10 days ago have areadly been discussed a lot. Why bring this again?

"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

This is not news though, we always knew that the Wii U would be a thorn in multiplatform development cycles, I've discussed this to death in the UNITY thread and don't feel like writing any more on it.

I fully expect a bunch of people to come in and shoot down the claims though; "anonymous dev, suspicious!" "this isn't true, there are plenty of people who say they enjoy working with the Wii U!" etc. Another day at vgchartz.
