Not surprising one little bit.

It'll still sell fucking millions per hour...

looks like I wont be buying one then. I was only going to consider it IF it was going to be more powerful then "current" gen....tendo is disappointing again.
I may have to skip a few gens like I did last time.

Worrying stuff, and it's in stark contrast to recent comments made by Capcom's Yoshinori Ono. The Street Fighter producer said in January that the Wii U had been much improved since its unveiling at E3 last year, saying the latest version of the system had "many unique possibilities."

Epic Games VP Mark Rein is also a fan, saying last month that "we've yet to see what Wii U can really do and I think at E3 this year they're going to shock us." Nintendo is to unveil the final Wii U hardware at the June conference, with the console due on shelves before the end of the year.


Honestly, I'm gonna take named sources speaking in favor of the console's capabilities more seriously than anonymous sources saying that the console is a steaming pile of shit. At any rate, it's still gonna be a while before the "final" version is unveiled, and even longer before the console is actually released, so I'm not passing judgment on it yet.

Ono?

He works for those guys who recently said DLC developed post-release and downloaded later is no different than developing a full game, putting it all on the disc, locking half of it away, and charging money to unlock it later, right?

Yeah, he's trustworthy alright.

There is a difference between business practice and the power of a machine.

The Wii U isn't even out yet, lets see what games actually look like before we make half-assed judgements.

I was more questioning Smokeys judgement of character, but yeah, I'm not afraid to be proven wrong.

Even if it is shit though, it'll still sell loads.

I honestly don't know what role Ono plays as the producer in that team, specifically how much control he has on how the game is released and in how many pieces, but I think I can trust Ono to be reasonably trustworthy when it comes to talking about console capabilities.

Besides, it's not as though he's one voice against many. If someone from Epic Games, who has been pretty openly anti-Nintendo this generation, has good things to say about the Wii-U and what's coming for it, I think that says a lot for the Wii-U.
