With the wii u I don't think nintendo are doing anything that different from any other generation (at first I had my concerns but the more i think about it the more they seem unfounded...the botched 3ds launch seems to have taught nintendo that in order to succeed they gotta act more like NINTENDO!!!)
No I don't think nintendo are trying to steal the current 'hardcore' audience away from MS and Sony...I think they're merely attempting to keep their own fanbase happy. The biggest complaint this current gen, about the wii , was lack of 3rd party support and it appears that nintendo have tried to address this with the wii u. The wii u will do well enough with just it's 1st party lineup. If it attracts 3rd party support there might actually be 1 or 2 decent games to play on the damn machine inbetween mario games so everybody wins.
Having said that, I don't think the wii u will necessarily be the once and future king of all consoles or anything like that but I'm fairly sure it will succeed.
So, no, I'm not as worried as you!
