While the Wii U may have been floundering, the console space did receive a significant injection of excitement in February, as Sony began the month by sending out invites to a New York City unveiling of the PlayStation 4. "In many ways what we're describing as Gen 4 is yet to come, and that's what we're excited about and that's what we're investing in." "A lot of devices come in and represent themselves as the next generation," Riccitiello said. Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick told investors he was "somewhat disappointed with the launch of the Wii U" and EA CEO John Riccitiello suggested to them that the Wii U shouldn't even be considered a next-gen system. The launch had a number of red flags, and the months that followed only brought more.įebruary of 2013 saw Wii U exclusives Rayman Legends and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge being quickly moved to multiplatform launches while major third-party partners threw shade on the console.
