Honestly, with how videogame journalists reacted to the DS vs PSP, Wii vs PS3, and 3DS vs PS-Vita I would be far more worried if the journalists were happy with the Wii U ...
It isn't that I think they will always make the wrong "bet", but more that they have a very unique perspective on the industry which doesn't line up with 80% of gamers and they don't seem to be able to understand how the other gamers will react. Maybe because a lot of them don't actually pay for their hardware, they don't seem to believe that most gamers would favour a more modest system that cost $200 to $300 than a super powerful system that cost $600 to $1000.
