Duke Nukem development cycle:
Marketing studies have shown that up until very recently the Wii U was though to be a peripheral for the Wii by a large portion of the casual gamer audience, which is one of Nintendo's largest demographics. Nintendo should have done a better job of differentiating the Wii U from it's predecessor.
I think Microsoft has shown via 343 Industries that it is able to take over the IP from another studio and make it sing on its own.
After Judgement, I was afraid the Gears formula was getting pretty stale. Handing development over to a new team just might breathe life back into the series.
