I agree with this article.
The problem with SNES, N64, GC (and PS3) was they didn't differentate enough from the competition. Wii did and that paid off in spades. With WiiU, which is basically a PS3 with a touch screen controller - which isn't an enticing sales gimmick - WiiU suffers from everything GC did but worse as MS/Sony will be launched true next gen systems the following year or two. Wii was significantly different that the outdatedness didn't matter (until Kinect/Move came and Nintendo took the focus off the motion controls). WiiU is not significantly different enough to overcome it's soon to be outdatedness.
