Yeah, http://kotaku.com/5946501/norwegian-retailer-has-a-fantasy-wii-u-launch-lineup. Not exactly trustworthy.

Hehe


But still the level of absurdity may not make it invalid, it's very unexpected for those who haven't been following deeply, and tech debates. Soul Calibur 5 isn't that of a surpirse since it was always on nintendo at first, and it's about time they damn announce it for WIiU.

Technically no surprise for me, but, Doom4 is years away, but not that much, you know ... idtech is established now.

Ouch. It's been a while since I've seen a retailer blunder like that.

It's true that retailers are in a position to make very educated guesses, but their credibility here is damaged by the fact that sometimes they fudge details (or make them up entirely) because it suits them. They're much better today than they were a decade ago, but I still won't trust any information that doesn't match what's been officially released.

Doom 4 should take at least 2 years so that's an very bad educated guess.

Wasn't just the norwegian CDON who did it though, the http://cdon.se/spel/doom_4-14565442 and is really the "main" CDON. I've ordered plenty of stuff from them over the years, but it's rare I buy games from them. Mostly just CDs and to some extent DVDs/blu-rays. Although the last thing I bought from them is Windows 7 Home Premium, which they had a huge sale on back in june, which also made me upgrade from XP

This also makes me remember when another swedish online retailer (webhallen.com) insisted for the longest time that Morrowind (and then The Elder Scrolls Adventures) was coming for the PS2.
