Nintendo president Satoru Iwata comments on the lack of Wii games in the past couple of years and addressed a concern that the Wii U could lose out on some future games if it's not as powerful as the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 successors.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

This looks like a great way to play.
Rocksmith+, the award winning music-learning app that teaches you guitar and piano with thousands of hit songs, is coming to PlayStation and Steam on June 6, and is available to wishlist now on both platforms.
I still play my Wii, I just bought Resident Evil Zero and Mario Galaxy 2.
Actually is not some will lose everything and fans of Nintendo again will play only on Mario and Zelda
Trying to sell it as a social device is not a good move Nintendo. We have these things called computers and phones which we already use to socialize with people and to play games.
When PS4/nextbox launch Wii U will stay back again no brain the new consoles will be so strong & the graphics so advanced that ports will be impossible on Wii U unless they downgrade them hard, as I have already read in many articles already Wii U cant even keep up with PS3/xbox so figure out by that.
Btw what's this crap Ninti continue say that consoles distract every1 on home & other family members cant see TV? they continue to say this crap again & again, how no1 told them that there is no chance a gamer doesn't have a 26-32'' LCD TV on his/her room, most houses have 2-3 TV maybe more so why they continue to say this & use it as a marketing tool.. get real dudes we live in 2012 not in the 60's & 70's where every house have 1 TV only.. :/
Though functional, it wasn't really the ideal platform for those who spend the most of their time multiplayer gaming online (Barring: Cod's, Conduit 1/2, Monster Tri, etc.). Limited hardware also played a role in the Wii's lack of potential AAA 3rd party supported software.
I would like to think of it as an, "you live and you learn" experience for Nintendo. Whatever the shortcomings - the Wii is Nintendo's most successful hardware console they've ever manufactured in their history of gaming.
They've negated the bad (basic online service, friends codes), and have expanded upon the positives. The Wii U will be a balanced console for gaming's next generation.
