I'd like to see why. So far, they seem to be making the right moves.

i'm basing it off of ancedocal evidence to be sure.  ..but what i'm not seeing is interest in the wii U for the "causuals" i know in my life.  "casual" in the context of this specific post means this:  owns a wii (and maybe a DS) but never bought any other video game system before.  i'm seeing no interest in anything gaming from them anymore. 

yeah but they're (so-called) 'casuals' for a reason...ie they're dumbasses when it comes to video games...they don't follow forums or look up game news etc so they probably have little or no clue this machine even exists yet...and I doubt they knew much about the wii 3 months before it was released either.

I'm not saying they'll rush out to buy the wii u, but I'm saying lack of interest from the casual crowd doesn't necessarily amount to anything at this point as the casuals are often slow to catch on...er...cos they're casual.
