Wii U Not Arriving Until At Least Q2 2012

Idk what they are planning but they already tried to take a different stance this generation and look how they turned out

I don't think timing has anything to do with the WiiU. I think stupid ideas, too many gimicks and an expensive price tag will kill it before anything else.

People will buy it no matter what, but will I? Yes. Just for the Zelda game that will eventually come out on it.

I think timing is everything for Nintendo. It's apparent that Nintendo can't compete directly against Microsoft or Sony. One reason Nintendo has been doing so well lately was that it was the only motion control game in town for numerous years. That bubble has burst. They need something else. What's working against them is they've been catering to casual gamers and old people. This new system confuses me, and I am neither casual nor old. Imagine what old casual gamers are thinking.

If they could get their **** together, answer people's questions, make clear what this system will have and what it will do, and get this out by this Christmas, they'd be in business. The time is now. Sony's hack has offput a lot of people and Microsoft's insistence on that damn Kinect is really rubbing some people wrong (after 8 hours of work, I don't want to come home and shake anything). Maybe get back some of the people they put off with their shovelware.

Honestly, I don't think it really matters when it will be released. Much like each new version of the Ipod, the fans will snap it up as soon as it ships and the rest of the world will ignore it. As was proved by the original Wii, it's the software that matters the most. Sure you can sell a few million units of hardware, but it doesn't really matter if nobody is buying your games.
