Developers don't know how to create a shooter anymore. It has to be something that gamers get and that make them discuss a reason for it. These "current" FPS fall on the same demographic of gamers and use the same tactics that really isn't nothing new. We captured flags, defeated teams, fought zombies and waves of enemies, added rpg elements, and heard the same online verbal abuse or trash talk. We have done this for years and fear none of that will change."
If we are talking software sales, Nintendo kind of got the industry on lock (and maybe activision with skylanders) and that might be hard to take in. Third party doesn't have a lasting effect when selling games until they drop where nintendo games, new or old, still are purchase at regualr price at retail stores. Over a long of period of time compared what can be sold in a month or days. After Modern Warfare 3 and even Mass Effect 3 came out and sold what they sold, people are still buying Nintendo games and even third party wii games that came out before those two.
Now, we ask ourselves this: Can the sales of a Wii U game have the same drop off like the other systems? With that, would that make it a failure? Even if was a bit underpowered but somewhat had great HD graphics? "
I cannot judge until E3 and I personally will purchase one because I want to see what real creative minds can bring when graphics aren't all to be expected. The developers have to bring their A game to Wii U. If they look at Nintendo, some will try to incorporate what they do (sony and Micro does it).
Let's give it to E3 and see what comes. Rumors might be good but it doesn't lead to final judgement of a system."
