I don't necessarily disagree. They've had third-party issues for a long time, and there are some that run deeper than just the console tech. I do think they have to prove that headway is being made in that area, that third-party publishers are actually going to support and develop for their systems on a consistent basis. I think the WiiU is a good level of tech for them -- it's not a leap over the PS3/360, but it's enough of a step up to bring them up to standard. They have other issues with the WiiU that are going to become problematic unless they handle them right, but the tech inside the system should be good enough for multiplatform games. They're going to need more than old games that everyone has already played, though.
