They won't be able to make any significant changes from now until release, and they definitely won't 6 months out from release, unless they wanted to piss off and screw the developers working on launch titles.
I wasn't talking about major interior changes, mostly just software. If the Wii U is going to have more games like Killer Freaks from Outerspace coming, it could have a chance of attracting more mature gamers to the platform. Wii had a small handful of that type of mature games, like Madworld and Manhunt 2, but it just wasn't enough. We'll just have to wait and see.
Speaking of mature games, I hope Rockstar Games gets on board with the Wii U. They probably will eventually. Now that the Wii U is capable of even more things graphically, maybe they'll start doing multi-platform games again. Their last games that were on all 3 consoles was Bully: Scholarship Edition and Manhunt 2, and those were some of their first 'next-generation' games.
It's all a matter if developers are going to be willing to put time into developing for the Wii U. Developers are either going to have to stop being lazy, or hire studios to handle Wii U versions of their games.
I'm just waiting to see how Microsoft does in copying Nintendo this time. Sony is probably gonna do more stuff with PSVita/PS3 connectivity, but I doubt it'd be as practical as the Wii U, obviously. Sony tried that before with the regular PSP, and it didn't work out too well.
