But he's not the only one who thinks the console is pregnant with potential. Splinter Cell: Blacklist's Creative Director also told us this week that he believes the multiplatform title is at its most immersive on the Wii U.
Ubisoft is giving Nintendo's Wii successor a lot of love right now but considering the disappointing sale figures behind Wii U launch exclusive ZombiU, we'd say that the company will be closely watching the performance of Rayman and Splinter Cell to determine whether the pair have a bright future of working together ahead of them.
Amazon game console? That's bananas!
Yes, a new challenger may be entering the fray as Amazon has launched its own digital software store in the UK, offering PC and Mac games.
But if you thought it would be leaving the console space alone, you're having a laugh. Possibly. It all depends whether there's any truth to the word that Amazon is planning to take on Ouya with its own Android console.
If this is true, and if Amazon can take the success of the Kindle and see it matched in the console space, it could be onto a winner. We'll certainly be keeping a close eye on the jungle.
