- Iwata: It is my mission to improve and make our platforms solid and hence achieve 100 billion op. Wii U will have after summer more games to drive.

Have fun doing whatever you're doing GG.

Who is it from EA making this comment? He's saying there's a big jump from Wii U to Xbox 3, PS4, and PC....but that they're still not where they want to be?

Vacation.

It seems the site I grabbed the EA story from had framed it as a Wii U not next gen story. When I investigated further it seems the question and answer was referencing the earnings report and early sales results for the system. So this answer makes more sense in that context:

"Having said that, I wouldn't say that we see much correlation between the results that Nintendo have just shown with the console debut of the Wii U and what we see coming. We see a pretty sharp distinction and unfortunately I'm unable to go any further than that."

They weren't talking graphics.

For my birthday, my girlfriend preordered me The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct for Wii U.

I hope its a good game...I love the idea of playing as Daryl. It sounds like they're going for a similar vibe to Zombi U...but from what I've seen, doesn't look as good.
