[quote]Microsoft pursued a similar strategy with its Xbox 360.[/quote] Same old story, they just make tons on the software side instead till the hardware becomes cheap to manufacture.
Their objective is to get as many people to buy the Wii U. If they manage to get 10 million people to own a Wii U, then the profit from games will come in. Of course provided that they give us a superior online gaming than those from XBOX Live and PSN

All they need is a large number of 3rd party support. Wii U could use a lot of FPS genre game and JRPG. The XBOX 360 is popular with FPS games and PS3 is popular with RPG. Wii U needs to cover BOTH.
