The only thing that can make Wii U relevant or irrevelant is the games. Will I be able to play Mario, Metroid and Zelda, Kriby, Donkey Kong and Smash Bothers on any device using Xbox Smart Glass?

Proof that Nintendo really shoul just make games and hardware accessories.

No. That means that people buy gaming systems to play games on it. Be it Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or the Pope. If Microsoft launches an eight cores, dual sticks, four shoulder buttons, back touch panel and front capacity touch screen with 3D output portable game device it means that the Vita is irrelevant? No. Because I want to play Uncharted, Gravitity Rush, LBP and killzone on my handheld.  

My point is that for 2 generations it appears that Nintendo is releasing underpowered consoles that what makes them different is the fact they have a different type of control.  There is nothing that the Wii did that could not have been done on the PS3 or 360 with Nintendo releasing a controller with the game.   Now with the Wii U to play the next Mario you need tp purchase an underpowered console that has a new control scheme.  Why not simply make the new controller and have it work with more powerful consoles.
