Well the Wii U is being received really well by the developers working on it... not only is Ubisoft loving it, but companies like EA and SEGA are working hard on it too. The people at Gearbox have also referred to the console as "very sexy", and that "the Wii U has so much more to offer. No other platform can do what the Wii U can do".
