With the shift to everything needing to have multiplayer, especially on xbox, seeing the games that are coming to Wii U is rather refreshing. PS4 will no doubt have those too, but farther down the line.
One of my favorite early launch titles for 360 was condemned (and it was an exclusive too), and I see nothing like that coming up. It's all just dudebro garbage, multiplayer grey brown brobox games. At least for my dollar this year, Nintendo will give me *real* games as they should be.
I have also never been a portable gamer, but lately portable dedicated handheld gaming seems to be where the real action is. I am hopeful though that ps4 will get its share of the real stuff down the line much like ps3 did. But honestly, the gamecube had some amazing titles on it, and if the Wii U ends up being another gamecube or even dreamcast (in terms of games, not how the DC left the market early), then I will be very happy.
The original wii ended up having so many amazing exclusive and unique titles for it, more than I ever figured it would, to the point where my 360 has been collecting dust for years. I suspect that will be the case for this generation too. These were wii titles you had to actively look for though, little gems really. I think the Wii U after some time will be looked at as fondly as the gamecube, maybe not from a financial/business standpoint, but from a gamers perspective. Often really great content and new artistic and gameplay experiences that truly impress do not correlate to financial success, hence what we see with western console gaming, mobile, etc. Quality rarely ever equals financial success i'm afraid. The masses want there league of legends and COD's and by god the industry will give it to them, especially in the west.
I hope Wonderful 101 does better, it certainly deserves it
