Joseph DiGrado writes, "With the recent release of Nintendo’s Wii U console and the expectation of dominant sales, it seems that Nintendo may have hit a plateau in the eyes of gamers. As the sales surprisingly dropped down to barely over a hundred thousand a week only several months after release, Nintendo seems as if they may have run into a pickle. But this may not all be so true."
Sand Land Producer Keishu Minami discusses how the new open-world action game is trying to pay homage to Akira Toriyama's creative legacy.
Omeda Studios CEO states it was a "pretty big shock" when Epic killed Paragon, and explains why they're making its spiritual successor.

Mario Kart 8, Zelda and a new Retro Studios Metroid will do wonders for sales.
With a release 1 year before PS4/Xbox 3, it would be normal to see that.
Wii U has no games because Nintendo wanted to release before and not confront against PS4/Xbox.
Wii U will have big IP fall 2013/early 2014, when PS4/Xbox 3 will just release, after a big desert.
And maybe, there will be a price cut for Wii U when PS4/Xbox will release at 400-450$
So no need to be happy, that's normal ...
Down the price to 249 USD and release AAA games like Zelda and Nintendo will have the 3DS effect, simple Nintendo good price and AAA games,
i dont know if their fanbase can hold up considering most of it last gen was because of marketing the wii motes and wii sports. they dont have that anymore so casual gamers and parents may turn to the ps4 and 720 if they can bring the goods with the ps3 move and kinect to the casuals aswell as nintendo did last gen.
