"Let the powning commence" arrrrrrg it's cod 4 all over again!
One of the funniest things i ever heard was a squeaky voiced kid tell me i just got "powned" over xbl!

I would of thought the whole selling Wii U at a loss would of put their argument down the toilet. Nintendo's strat with this console is to sell at a loss and slowly leach back that cash through software sales over a period of years. So if Wii U is meant to be a stop gap why would they take the risk of releasing a new console before they have paid off the Wii U?

Isn't Nintendo's main problem if retailers don't have the stock to sell those cheaper systems (xbox/ps3) might get bought instead, As I'm sure most parents would rather give a present other than an IOU.
I hope my pre-order is a definite day one delivery.
