Maybe I’m missing something, but being (probably) a year away from release with limited details available and having similar sales intention numbers to a system that is going to be released very soon is not that bad for the Wii U.

As has already been said, the Wii U at this point in time has only been demonstrated as a concept; and, as most of Nintendo’s fanbase will tell you, while the Wii U concept has potential it is not as exciting as the Wiimote was. This upcoming E3 will be Nintendo’s opportunity to show the Wii U as a system, and selling it to people who are currently uncommitted. If Nintendo does well, by showing off solid software, eliminating people’s fears about the hardware, and displaying services that people desire, the buying intentions for the Wii U could rise dramatically from their current spot.
