I listed four things they do not have as well as noted some where WiiU is clearly better.
All it needs is the software ... i.e. exclusive software or upgraded software for those with PS360s. It has the features and price point.

Don't you think fours is little? I undertand your list... there things better implemented in Wii U but there are things that are worst yet... overall all these features you can find in PS360 (paid or not)... and the PS360 have a lot of others exclusives features.
Wii U is giving nothing new... think like the PS4 and Nextbox will give you a Share video feature to record and upload while you play the game... that's a amazing feature that next-gen needs.
What Wii U gave to us that PS360 didn't give? So little.

How much demand would there actually be for video recording though? The people that actually want to do it, will buy the software to. I am sure that it wouldn't be hard, and could even be an optional software purchase. However, being able to record those videos could take away from the quality of some games. Unless they do like the Wii U, and split the memory.
Personally, I think in their own way, all 7th Generation consoles have brought some unique gameplay elements. The Wii revolutionized motion based gaming, and was a blockbuster hit for simple minded moms or parents that had kids, that wanted simpler games. The Xbox had Kinect, and the way that they handle party chat as well as the music player, both are brilliant. The Playstation 3 gained the ground that they did for three reasons. 1) Free online 2) Playstation Plus 3) Blu-Ray Player, by releasing the PS3 last, they were able to One-Up the Xbox. Did they price themselves crazy? For the backwards compatible systems, hell no. For the slims and Super Slims? $269/$299/$349 is a fair price point, for the massive library of games.
The problems that the Wii U and the Playstation Vita face, is the fact that you NEED games for it. When the Nintendo 3DS came out, it was a serious turnoff because there were already 140 million DS's, most of which could play Game Boy Advance games, and the 3D effects were not cool, though innovative.
For the install base that the Vita has, Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified is very successful, despite numerous flaws, morons like myself paid full price for multiplayer on the go, the smart people bought it as a bundle for $199.
For the Vita to succeed, it cannot be charging $350 to not be a half ass machine. $199 with at least an 8GB memory card would be a lot more reasonable and in line with the 3DS. 3 years down the line, IF Sony gets the support for the system as promised, it will destroy the 3DS, but with it owning less than 13% of the market share, it clearly shows games sell the console. What if Killzone Liberation, Warrior's Lair and Soul Sacrifice Flop? We still have Madden and FIFA! Although it is nice that Xseed is starting to pump out games for the console. In retrospect, DIGITAL games are being released every couple weeks for the Vita. Rainbow Moon is also getting ported to the Vita, which is a great thing.
Earth Defense 2017 Portable may seem cheesy, but it's actually a lot of fun to play in short spurts, or with friends.
Pinball Arcade looks and plays beautifully on the handheld.
Super Stardust Delta is a very fun shooter, yes it's been out a while but it's still great to play.
