No.
The hardware is not going to be up to next-gen specs by any means. That will hurt its lifespan once other next-gen consoles roll out.
Nintendo is about three steps behind in regards to online integration which will be a huge selling point of next-gen consoles. Yes, the tablet is there, but when consumers will be buying regular tablets in droves, the weaknesses of the Wii-U will be fully fleshed out.
Its not going to be DOA, but its not going to sell anywhere near the Wii. I expect between 50-60m units sold by end of generation.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
