Could the Wii U be coming our way early next year?
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/26798
Sega's executive vice president of marketing, Alan Pritchard, has said that the Wii U will be released next Spring/Summer.
In an interview with Gamespot, when questioned about the possibility of Sonic Generations being released for the Wii U, he responded that it would not be possible since Generations is set for a November release, while the Wii U is coming out next Spring/Summer.
He also spoke about the Aliens: Colonial Marines footage played during the press conference, saying it was from a prototype but Sega and Gearbox have been working with Nintendo since the beginning, and they have the demo playing on the Wii U development kit.
As this is not a confirmation by Nintendo, and release dates are constantly in flux, a Spring/Summer 2012 release date is just one of many possibilities for Wii U.

They just don't see the value in releasing it that far after the others. Especially since it's Sonic; everyone will have realized how bad the game is well before it comes out.

That is a bunch of bull crap. If Sega doesn't want to do it they should just say so, but saying it "is not possible" is a flat out blatant lie. Modern Warfare 3 is also coming out in November, and yet that hasn't stopped EA from promising it for Wii U. So what is Sega's excuse?

I refuse to let you get away with that comment. I decided to stop visiting ign for my news fix and come here to escape one sided opinions such as those shown in your horrendous comment about Sonic Gen. Not only are you giving the game 0% of a chance to prove itself before saying something like that, but your lack of professionalism even though you are a head writer for this site is appalling. I am not saying whether or not I think the game will suck because it does not matter. What matters is that everything in life deserves a chance. Thank you very much for your time.

It was just a joke. Believe me, as an old-school Sega fanboy I would absolutely love for them to figure it out and deliver the Sonic game we've all been waiting for, I'm just not very confident in their ability to do that, given their track record with the series over the last decade.
Also, I'm not the n00b on staff anymore, they've hired a couple people since me. I still post on the forums a lot because we've got the best community on the internet here, and as a college student I have ridiculous amounts of free time, allowing me to work on the site AND frequent the forums.
I don't really understand why people are taking a comment from a third-party as anything indicative. What makes this statement credible?
