Call of Duty is all about the online experience, something which Nintendo has yet to prove that they could match even the basic PSN features.

Don't see anything wrong here. He did specifically say "for SOME".

"Different approach" sounds like nothing more than obvious PR speak and damage control to me. Especially when no concrete details were given on precisely what this "different approach" entails.
Reading between the lines of everything they've said so far, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Nintendo online network will most likely be trash compared to XBL and PSN.
Then it's a quote that doesn't mean anything. I'm sure core Nintendo fans will want to play cod on their Nintendo systems.
Stealing players away from Sony/MS is the only real interesting conversion here
You flatter yourself if you think I was talking about you in all those posts.
"Some" is an "unspecified amount or number of". The statement is logically sound regardless, that's why I said it was vague and unsubstantial. Exactly what amount Moffitt refers to is undefined, as is whatever amount that would be high enough for the claim to be silly.
You pretty much have to make up for yourself that he must be referring to a really high amount when in all likelihood he used the word to explicitly avoid being specific.
And not that it matters, but for the record I'm sure more people will prefer the WiiU version than octopus over chocolate.
Fixed.
Back on topic, someone needs to give Scott Moffit some general PR training. This comment wasn't too silly and I can see it happening for some people but since E3 he's been a bt hard to take seriously.

Can't wait to spoil all the best camping spots on Miiverse....
No it's not, so stop with this baseless crap.
Maybe he wasn't trying to have an interesting conversation.
We like to talk about how gaming journalism is shit, but look how far a clickbait title will get you.

Is speculation unacceptable?
Well that's boring

Oh, so you have proof that it's not then?
Do tell. I'd love to hear all the details about this "different approach" and how awesome it's going to be. I'll gladly eat crow if the U's online network is awesome and as good or better than the competition.
You're boring.

I think the gamepad should have the load out on the bottom screen. Not the map.
Only boring people get bored
Voice chat would be moderated now?
He's quickly becoming my new favorite industry personality for all the wrong reasons.
Put a half-hour clock on each one, given the approval process.
Be quiet. The adults are speaking. We're having really deep and insightful discussion here! It just seems angry.

That's it!

Hey man. I'm not really confident about the online either but doesn't mean I'm gonna jump onto conclusions. We hardly know shit about the online other than Miiverse.

They haven't even said how they will match features from the Xbox 1 online.
in-game voice chat will be on a 7 day moderation. the other team won't hear you call them all "fucking pussy losers" until next week at the earliest and it'll all be converted to beeps.

If it derives from taking quotes out of context and ignoring everything we already know about WiiU online; then I would argue it should be.

Things can be inferred from what is not said as well as said.
The fact that you know about this Miiverse stuff and not about voice chat or online integrations speaks volumes and will do so until Nintendo does something about it.
It's the same thing that can be inferred when Microsoft spends all their E3 talking about the Kinect. Sure, you don't know the details but intent and focus can easily be implied here from what is and is not shown and when it is and is not shown.

I think they care more than you assume. There's also a segment that cares about Trophies and Gamerscore, and the fact that you've got to get these guys to invest in the hardware first.
Eh. It's less relevant for Nintendo. They're just oblivious. MS? Makes more sense.

Considering Nintendo has lately waited for their launch-detail conferences to show off their online functions (3DS and Wii), jumping to any conclusion right now seems rather silly. And we barely know anything about Miiverse as well.

If you want to use the past to infer things about Nintendo's future (which is perfectly fine thing to do when speculating), that's another dead end for your argument as well. Either way, optimism seems unrealistic.
They DID show online functionality on the WiiU, they didn't hide it from us, it just wasn't the information what we wanted to know (wasn't impressive or a part of our interests when it comes to actually playing games online) and that speaks volumes. That is my point.
Well, I think its because people keep asking them about it.
This was in direct response to a question about Call of Duty.

It's an example:
"You can imagine how a game like Call of Duty would work on the Wii U - the GamePad will allow you to declutter the TV and pull gaming items like maps down and not interrupt your interaction and enjoy the cinematic quality of the game on the TV."
Eurogamers title is misleading.
This is what he says:
"The Wii U could become the preferred way to play those games for some of the core gamers."
Eurogamer:
Nintendo: Wii U could become "preferred" Call of Duty platform
Scott mentions COD after the "Wii U could become..." sentence.
OP could have read the article first.
I know, and maybe this quote isn't a great example, but Reggie's statement is a bit better ("NOW WE CAN GET THE CALL OF DUTY AND THE SKYRIM")

Between this and the online structure, and the hundreds of friends that people have on their lists, probably not.

No they aren't. Well control wise it was better than the 360/ps3 one. Only difference was no DLC and the graphics.

Off-topic:
I've played black ops on PC, PS3 and Wii.
Between
"shake nunchuck to reload" vs. "press square to reload"
or
"shake wiimote to melee" vs. "press circle to melee"
I much rather have the button press.

Optimism? Not much optimism on that front for me. They showed off Miiverse, they DIDN'T show off the bulk off their online functionality.
My point is stop judging something before real details have even been released.

This is what he said:
"What I’ll tell you is that with the Wii we did not have the benefit of multiplatform games from key publishers. I didn’t have The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I didn’t have the best of the Call of Duty games. That’s what I missed.
With the Wii U’s graphics capability, processing power, and HD-output, we’ll get those games."
This is nowhere near to Eurogamers statement.
And if these games are coming, I don't see anything bad about the statement.
*Maybe the meaning of the sentence is "we'll get those kind of games", anyway, we have to wait for an announcement or hate him because he lied.
And this thread is silly because noone read the article.. and it's even in the OP.
I don't think Nintendo was trying to impress you with what it showed about its online - it was just illustrating the different take on it. In essence, that reveal wasn't really meant for you.
I mean, speculation is fun and all, but at some point people need to either be patient or recognize that Nintendo's philosophy does not relate to them and stop going out of their way to talk shit about the company in every thread about it.
For those like that, for those who know they will never buy a Nintendo system, there are probably more engaging things you could be doing with your time.

I did read the article but thank you for pointing out that the article should be read by those posting here before making statements. The article does offer quite interesting information. I do think that the representative is incorrect though by stating that the Wii U can become the preferred COD platform.

He didn't said this as you can see by the quotes, that's the problem.
"I did read the article" sure
