Not talking graphics talking controls. We know enough about the tablet and the Wiimote and the classic controller to know the console is capable of dominating control wise.
Why couldn't MMO's and RTS games be as successful on PS3/360/Wii? it wasn't the lack of graphical power it was the controls. Everybody hated pointing with the analog and selecting the buttons...etc...etc.. Microsoft talked about it in great detail when they made HaloWars. Publishers and developers attempted tweaking the controls of RTS/MMO's to try and make them work on consoles but you could never get the feel of the PC games.
But with the tablet that will be possible. We already know enough about the tablet to know it will be able to play MMO and RTS games. Just like the DS is capable. Whether or not developers support it or the graphical power is good enough to port say StarCraft 2 over isn't the issue.
The issue is that the control scheme is an answer and could easily dominate every genre except maybe dance. Graphical power is the only thing that could be an opstical but that doesn't mean that the WiiU couldn't dominate all the genre's regardless. People who are gamers care about controls, story and gameplay. Graphics compliment those aspects but if those aspects are there then Nintendo should be able to dominate.
