I can see this for several reasons:
1) The Wii U and Nintendo is very family centric. At midnight, only gamers are going to be the ones daring to be awake to go to a gamestop and purchase one. Nintendo probably chose to hold back on that, because they wouldn't have their entire audience purchasing at that hour. In short, people expecting to buy during the day may find empty stocks.

2) The recent Dark Knight Rises incident.

3) Gamestop is gay.

What does the DKR thing have to do with this? It was a shooting, they happen all the time, regardless of the situation. If somebody wants to shoot up a crowd, then there going to do it regardless of other variables.
I really don't get all the hate for Gamestop. They just sell video games, and buy back used ones. You don't like the amount they'll give you, then don't trade in, but that doesn't mean they are a horrible store. Perhaps instead of getting into a conversation with the employees, just so you can find another reason to hate them, you should just buy/sell and get out.
As for a midnight launch, they've done this for past consoles, so theres a high chance they'll do it again.

Okay I know most of you will buy this game, but is there anyone who's not buying the game? For me , I love the concept, but there's just too much blood and horror and I don't really play M games, plus blood makes me Squamish.  I watched the trailer for zombiu with the pictures only, I was fine when I watched it the first time, but the second time I nearly wanted to throw up. What made it even creepier was that it had the song god save the queen playing.

Don't get me wrong, I love the concept and all but I'm more centered around family friendly games.  I have a little nephew who wants me to get it cause he thinks it's 'cool' I am not letting a 9 year old play a zombie game.

Plus I have a two year old goddaughter to think about so... Yeah...don't want to scare her.

Honestly, kids these days could care less. My guess is the 9 year old has seen worse than Zombiu. This generation just isn't scared as easily, which is why the survival horror genre has taken a hit.
Anyways, it sounds like you are a hematophobiac (Science for afraid of blood , so you really shouldn't get it if you aren't going to like it.

PowerPC CPU? I thought it was confirmed Power7

I don't believe that was ever confirmed, I'm pretty sure it was just a rumor that's gotten to the point where most assume it is Power7.

I'm getting tired of rumor specs, they're all so different its not even worth it. Just wait till the consoles released.

Very good article, talking about why Nintendo announced what they did at E3, and didn't make announcements like 3DS XL.

Also, if we could refrain from any "Ignorant without IGN" comments

I hav

e own

I, personally, only own handhelds, but my dad owns every Nintendo console, a Sega Megadrive, and an Atari 2600.

Another reason for wanting an Xbox 360 is because of the great games I already missed out, and not just the ones that I might miss out. I don't see a reason for RE6 and SC:BL not to come to the Wii U but you never know. But I also missed out on: Red Dead Redemption, AC games (aside from 3 if I will buy a Wii U), Halo games, GTA IV, COD games in their full glory (aside from BO2 if I'll buy a Wii U), BF3, RE5, SC: Conviction/Double Agent... Reasons enough. I know that, most likely, a new console will be out next year or so, but I can get a secondhand Xbox 360 for about 75 euros (I know about RRODs) and next-gen consoles will be expensive at launch, so I'll wait with them.

I don't see an enhanced version of BO2 as a reason to buy a Wii U to be honest.

Hmmm, well you've got a pretty nice list there, and theres plenty more. Might I make a suggestion, check out Dead Rising. It's not a survival horror, but rather a really fun zombie killing game. Also, check out Deadspace, enjoyable horror game.

I doubt BO2 Wiiu will be overly enhanced, maybe a few things thrown in here and there. I'll just be happy to play a full version of a recent CoD, rather than a gimped Wii version. I suppose I could've bought them for PC, but I do love the Wiimote controls. Kinda hope it supports Wiimotes.

I'm not too sure how this will boost Wii U sales, Just because it's popular doesn't mean it'll help the Wii U.

*most COD players think they are to "hardcore" to own a nintendo console.
*if the servers aren't cross-platform then Wii-U servers would have much less players online.
*your xbox/playstation friends would need to make the jump to Wii U too if there is no cross-platform servers.
*people already with the game will need a really good to want to buy another console and that game again.
*loads of people won't buy it just because they are fanboys.

so i doubt it would boost sales much unless it has cross-platform servers, some really good features unique to the Wii U and it makes good simple use of the Wii U controller.

You'd actually be surprised. Not sure if you knew, but CoD is a pretty popular seller on Wii. They tend to sell a few million copies every year on Wii, which is pretty good. The original Blackops actually still has a few 100,000 active players, with even more on MW3. I'd expect to see an even larger number on Wiiu

no its not... fresh news..

Wow, are you the negative nancy of these boards or what? Anyways, if it wasn't coming to the U, then they would come out and say it wasn't coming to the U. Saying "We can't talk about that right now" is a round about way of saying, "You're right, but my superiors tell me I can't say anything".

Tldr, but it's pretty easy to answer regardless. The power debate will not end until we know official specs. Regardless of what devs say or what we know, haters will continue to point out "Anonymous sources" claiming the Wiiu sucks.

Many of their fans are children and not just the ones under the age of 18. If they weren't children they wouldn't need a system like this. I think for obscene images it should be an instant permaban(Can you even post images with this?) swearing should be a warning. If you're trying to have curse words censored people will just find a way around it. (Very easily might I add.) This really shouldn't be a problem if it's public only if you want to swear do it within your group of friends rather than on a public forum.

You can post images you've drawn, pretty much like messages drawn in Swapnote or pictochat.
My opinion is, first send a warning, then send another warning as well as a temp ban, and finally IP address perma ban.

Yes it is like that, ts not a next gen it is just an update of 360 (what nintendo should release 4 years ago)...  Maybe its a rumor and not reality, but the size of the console, proves the opposite, that its weak for today tech.

Size doesn't really have much to do with power these days. My computer is extremely light and smaller than a PS360, and yet is way more powerful.
You really shouldn't believe any of this. Better to wait for specs from Nintendo, or at least from a dev, not from a website that claims it got info from a dev.

Wow, someones got a lot of free time on their hands
