Third party support will be there early, the problem is many of those games will also be on PS3 or 360 several months before they'll be on Wii U and even in the cases of games that may release at the same time, what reason is there going to be to get the Wii U and a version of say Ninja Gaiden 3 when you can get it for PS3 or 360 and not have to pay the entry fee of a new console? That's the challenge Nintendo is going to face. It's great that third parties are going to be there out of the gate but if these games don't sell, and considering they're multiplatform there's a good chance they wont, the support will dry up quick like what happened with Dreamcast. I think Nintendo needed to establish some big third party exclusives to really generate excitement. I know how a lot of people feel about GTA, but again, something like GTA V, even if it's just timed excluisve, would've been huge.

The tech is cool and all but I won't be dropping any money on this.

That is the deal breaker for me, I'd play GameCube more than Wii U and Wii games. GameCube was Nintendo's last good console.

Or a Wii. Why's everything have to be backwards compatible when people still own the old systems?

Think something more in the lines of such Wii classics as Wii Sports, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Twilight Princess.
