Hate to dredge up a whole thread, but I did want to comment on something.
Nintendo's Wii U lineup is looking extremely strong in the next 6-8 months, in my opinion. If Wooly World, Starfox, and Mario Maker land this year with the addition of XCX, Fatal Frame, Devil's Third, Project Treasure, Illusory Revelation, and more before the next E3, I would go as far to say that, starting with Splatoon, the next year could be a massive shift in monentum for Wii U. I don't think it will turn around the system, mind you, but it sure as hell puts it in a very favorable spot in comparison with its contemporaries.
