Good to see Carmine fighting the good (fanboy) fight. In many ways, he's right: Wii U will have many great games and will be a console worth owning. When you focus on the games that will be available during the full Wii U lifecycle, there is no doubt about that.
However... the console isn't there yet. In the present, in the right now, the many glaring holes and omissions in Wii U's software lineup outweigh any knowledge that good stuff is coming down the road. Why invest in an expensive new console when the software support obviously isn't in place yet? Having major publishers like EA openly reject the console doesn't help, and makes single console owners like myself think twice before opening their wallets at all.
Recent NPD results show that Wii outsold the Wii U last month, so this isn't an uncommon consumer response. Makes it hard to be too optimistic in the short term.
