I do kind of agree only because I'd take DKC, Zelda, and Pikmin 3 over the PS4/XBone line up. But that's just me.

Those experiences will pale in comparison to the quality of most Nintendo releases, that's the problem. I don't play games because they can be artsy or 'different' when their mechanics or substance is pure shit. Nintendo is one of the only companies that manages to release interesting and imaginative games while also innovating on a raw mechanics level and yes, making graphically impressive titles from time to time. It sucks their hardware is bad these days, but stuff like Mario Galaxy is still a generation defining title despite the fact it's not 'new', it will be remembered for years for what it accomplished, the same won't be said for Fez or Zoo tycoon, or whatever else is coming to the Ps4/Xbone in the first year.
I do most of my gaming on the 360 because that's where the volume of titles releases (or ps3, whatever your flavor) but Nintendo releases are often the best of the best, they just don't happen enough and their systems are pretty barren otherwise.It didn't help the wiimote basically handicapped a lot of games for the whole generation. If you hate Nintendo games fine, though i'll never understand how people who supposedly love video games can hate their output as they still make the best actual games today, but have greatly fallen behind the 'hold up to EPICCCC' cinematic games or the 'sorry our game doesn't work after 5 patches' style of games today. I sure hope another 8 bit indie title is on the way though, that certainly is a lot more enjoyable than that tired Donkey Kong Country series that just was revived a few years ago and is totally tired and dull.

He's right. There's nothing that interesting coming for ps4/xbox1
Internet fantasy land.
Ask "Media Crate", The game sold only 5000 copies + the Wii U ended up with 7000 units last week.
Reggie's W101 didn't even help to maintain the 10k units per week lol.

It really is incredible how Nintendo PR is the same year after year, launch after launch. "We have zelda, we have mario, etc..."

I wasn't aware, that Ubisoft and Activison didn't also have games coming to the Wii U this fall. lol

Of course not.
And?
The problem with Reggie's argument is that, for a console with a healthy ecosystem, launch lineups are only the start. PS4 and Xbone's launch lineups might not be that strong (although, I think both are miles better than the Wii U's own launch), but does anybody think that either console will be scraping by with only meaningful 1st party support by this time next year like the Wii U? Hardly.
If we narrow our field of vision to JUST the launches, Reggie might have a point. But it's the perceived viability of the software ecosystem over time that will inform most people's purchases at the end of the day, and Nintendo with the Wii U is up shit creek in that regard.

At least Wii U is getting the Ubisoft games.
My eyes are pretty terrible, but you'd have to be completely fucking BLIND to not notice a difference between Shadow Fall and something on the PS3.
You forget that this is NeoGAF, where set of people will take offense or just ridicule his claim. It's expected.

The fact that all they basically have is Mario games, Zelda games, and Donkey Kong games is why I'm skipping WiiU. I'm tired of Nintendo franchises.

Has nothing to do with the quality of the title.
You should check out what gamers here think of the game in its thread.
THat may be true, but what does he have to promote?
What original ideas are coming out of Nintndo of America?

I honestly don't see anything blowing away shit I've seen on high end PCs.
What appeals to me are good games. What makes me buy systems are good exclusives. The pursuit of the latest eye porn tech is one for PC gamers
or console gamers that ignore the fact that consoles start aging as soon as they launch.
Just want to repost this post I made.
I did not like any of the Killzone series (except that one PSP game, which played nothing like a Killzone game), but Shadow Fall is not like the rest of the Killzone series. It's different in pretty much every significant way. Which is not to say you should trust Guerrilla Games will deliver - I certainly don't - but that it's not simply "Killzone." It's something drastically evolved.

As the author of that piece, i can assure you I didn't ask him a silly question. Read the story.
This is the internet, where people will react to anything and everything they see out of habit.
Most major 3rd Parties are on Wii U as well. You forgot Batman Arkam Origins, which is also coming to Wii U, Splinter Cell Blacklist, which is already out on Wii U.
Especially on GAF people should definitely check everyons games line-up more thouroughly before making ridiculous claims and comparing them.

Yeah, this is exactly how I feel. I've been hugely critical of Nintendo, but I gotta hand it to'em. The Wii U is rapidly going from joke status to being seriously awesome.

But... your opening statement, and rest of your post, for that matter, is completely subjective. There's no intrinsic right/wrong on this issue, unless PS4/XB1 were only pushing shovelware, which is not the case.

Why would he be the wrong person? Wii U lineup this holiday season is much better.

By the way, when is Shantae Pirates Curse coming out? This year right? Add that to the Nitendo list!

I'm all about PS4, as soon as Infamous comes out.
Reggie's point is technically sound, but if the statement was meant to totally discount those machines, it's foolish. Donkey Kong, Mario and Zelda are huge to me...but they had me already. How are they going to get the average user who don't care about those titles on board?

I still wish they would. I haven't got a PS3 so I missed out on Journey and the other exclusives.
Nintendo's legacy is simply having introduced the first recognizable characters in videogames, as such when people think back they get all dough eyed and nostalgic.
If Mario launched as a new IP today it wouldn't sell all that amazingly and Nintendo know this, so they're stuck making Zelda and Mario games with all possibilities if new franchises being drop kicked every time they try and the sales are poor.
Imagine if Sega tried to make a new platformer franchise without sonic, that would sell well *sarcasm*
We have reached a point now where Nintendo's key franchises are genuinely burning out on hone consoles , over the next 5-8 years were going to see them change a lot or disappear.
The reason for this is that kids are increasingly less attracted to the characters that make the game and the generation that grew up with the original Mario are now middle-aged and getting on with their lives

Are you suggesting a particular sexual preference for the PS4? Or is this a 'prison situation' where as long as there's no feeling involved it's o.k.?

Wii U launch lineup, and fall lineup for that matter (IMO) is nothing to write home about. When the new Zelda, Mario Kart, and Smash come out, then I'll call their lineup amazing.
