Here's a little more taken from an interview with Reggie...
Quote:
The Wii U has to deliver a differentiated experience that can only be brought to bear through the use of these two screens. If all we do is a beautiful game in HD, it's been done before. We have to take advantage of the second screen, we need to take advantage of the connectivity that the system will offer and, if we do that, we believe that we will yet again disrupt the market the same way we with DS and Wii.
I know he doesn't mean it this way, but I think it's alarming that he's grouping it with the DS and Wii, both of which took a relatively long time for their "concept" to manifest itself in games that were true to that concept. The Wii especially took a while, for all of its successes, it wasn't until Skyward Sword (IMO) that the console truly had a marquee title that could be experienced no other way than with the Wii.

Reggie's a tough read, he's always got something dynamic and business jargony to say. I really wish they'd tip their hand a little more. They're gonna have a tough launch, especially after the 3DS fiasco.
