What can PS720 do to f*ck up Wii U's sales?

I agree that until Spring, there's nothing Microsoft or Sony can do to hurt WiiU's sales. What's more, the biggest problem so far seems to be the lack of enough consoles to meet the demand (something that could, ironically, benefit MS and Sony).

And I also agree that E3 will be very important for all of them. MS and Sony will probably give some details of their new consoles, they may even show the final hardware and give price and launch dates, and that will at least slow WiiU sales.

But Nintendo can mitigate the damage if they are capable of showing that third parties really care about WiiU and will support them once the launch period is over with new games (not necessarily exclusives) and also bringing to the table more info about their 1st party games. That's where studios like Retro or Monolith enter in action.

E3 won't matter for Nintendo just like it hasn't really mattered for a few years now.

We may get a good showing - maybe - but Nintendo Direct is where the megatons land, now.

E3 still matters to third parties, and that's the most important doubt Nintento has to make us forget.

This year we had Ubisoft with "Watch Dogs" unveiling. Nintendo needs to have that game on WiiU. And the same goes for "Star Wars 1313".

In E3 2013 Nintendo needs to show that Third Parties care about WiiU. Otherwise many "gamers" will wait for the PS4/Nextbox, and the sales wof WiiU will be affected by it.
