De Nintendo Wii was niet bepaald geliefd bij hardcore gamers. Nintendo moest dus van hele goede huizen komen om het vertrouwen van hardcore gamers terug te winnen. Nintendo heeft afgelopen E3 de Wii U aangekondigd, welke in 2012 moet verschijnen. Danny Bilson een topman bij THQ heeft zojuist vertelt dat hij de Wii U als een volwassen platform beschouwt.

If you look historically, there were a couple of games that were there at launch that did really well on the Wii Red Steel for instance. But I don't look at it as a kiddie platform. I look at it as a platform for everybody, and it has the power for everybody. So there's going to be a lot of core games from other companies as well as us on there, and I think the gamer's going to go for the best experience, wherever it is. Ultimately, the hardware is a small investment compared to what (gamers) spend on software. If you buy 10 games, that's $600, and a platform? I don't know what their price point is, but it's a smaller investment [than the software]. I have no concern at all that core people are going to say (derisively), Oh, it's Nintendo. Core gamers love Zelda. They love Mario. It's all part of whatever a great game is.

"We hebben enkele titels voor de Wii U gepland staan. Zo willen we graag Darksiders II als launchgame uitbrengen voor dit platform in 2012", aldus Bilson.
