Totally right. During E3, Iwata recently a French paper that WiiU is not designed to compete with PS3/360, let alone PS4/Xbox3 because Nintendo "doesn't want to compete with other companies on what they do best" and that "[those companies] address essentially male young adults" (suggesting that Nintendo is not planning to target them). See the link (in French though)

The Wii family therefore has its own cycle, disconnected from the PS360 generation, and its own audience, equally disconnected from the PS360 audience.
