Do we even know if there will be 3 consoles competing next generation? NO.
I am here to point out the positives the Wii U has.

1. It's the successor to the most successful console this generation, moving on, It's NINTENDO, a trusted family name, as long as there are 9-13 year olds in the world, Nintendo has a target audience, Parents do prefer to see little Tommy playing Mario in their living room than Killing Arabs in COD games.

2. Tablets are huge right now, Nintendo is offering one that will allow you to play worldwide recognized franchises such as Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Mario Kart, Mario Party for a price that most of us can assume will be cheaper than an Ipad.

Casual gaming is not to be underestimated anymore, do you guys really believe that Wii Fit U will not be a system seller, please understand something, Nintendo isn't just targeting us young adults Nintendo fans, they are targeting EVERYBODY, they want you to enjoy Zelda, while your little brother plays Mario Kart, your parents then use the Wii Fit U and your sister plays just Dance 4 and that Karaoke thing.

Nintendo will have what it appears to be a 2 year advantage on the competition, I say 2 years because if Sony and Microsoft were to release a new system within the next 12 months they would have announced it in E3 (and break some of the Wii U hype) heck, it wouldn't surprise me that they are waiting to see how good the Wii U does that first year so they can look for ways to imitate the GamePad controller. now thats about 2 holidays seasons that Wii U will be the only new gadget available, a big lead if you ask me, knowing all the preteen kids, you think they wont be asking parents, grandparents, Uncles and god knows who else for one? then you got the Nintendo loyalists who will be buying it the first months.

Nintendo still has by far the best licenses. I play other systems games also (buy them pre owned of course, I cant betray Nintendo by giving my money directly to Microsoft nor Sony, I prefer GameStop to keep it lol) and I admit Halo are getting a little milked there, the 360 saw 6 different Halos, thats more entries than any License Nintendo has used in a single console, 4 Gears of War, 3 God of Wars, 3 Uncharteds, so its safe to say the competitors are pushing their best Licenses to the max to stay competitive. Nintendo will have Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Mario (galaxy format), Metroid, Fire Emblem, Pikmin, Paper Mario, Pokemon, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Mario Party, WiiFit U, so thats about 13-4 franchises that cover genres such as Adventure, RPG, racing, fighting, casual, flying and strategy. so the games are there. and games sell systems.
