In a recent interview with EDGE, Wedbush Securities' analyst Michael Pachter said that Activision and others pressured Nintendo into developing the Pro Controller for the Wii U, which is 'a more conventional gamepad'.

"Activision never said anything to me," he explained, "but I know that [for] big games like Call Of Duty they said, 'No, we're not putting it on there if you don't give us a conventional controller'. So they gave in."

Also, he is skeptical of Nintendo's new console, saying that the company won't get "lucky" again.

"I don’t get it. I think that essentially this is a solution in search of a problem. I mean, somebody had an idea – 'let's make the controller a tablet' – and there aren't many games that are going to take advantage of that.

“[The Wii was] gimmicky. It worked, they got lucky. I don't think they're getting lucky with Wii U. I don't think [Nintendo] suck – I just think that they really believe that, 'If we're still novel, everything we do will work'. This isn't going to work.

"Hardcore gamers will buy them; hardcore Nintendo fanboys will buy it. They could put out a piece of cardboard and say that it'll play Mario and they'll buy it."

So yes, here we go again. What do you think?

The Wii U will be ready worldwide for this holiday season.
