Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski has stated Nintendo haters will buy the Wii U despite talking “sh*t” about the upcoming platform.

In an interview with IndustryGamers, he described the evolution that has led to present-day console technology, stating:

“The Power Glove [back on NES] led to the Wii, right? The Virtual Boy led to the 3DS, right? A lot of these older technologies that you forget about are [the technological predecessors]. The Kinect is a sophisticated webcam, right? So I’m just dying to see it.”

He added: “It’s Nintendo. I’ll buy it. I know I’ll buy it. They’ll talk sh*t but they’ll buy it.”

Wii U is expected to be released in 2012. For more on the new console check out our E3 2011 Wii U explained article.
