Considering how many people are taking this seriously, I'm not convinced that this person with a daughter actually exists. This thread feels like a roundabout way of dolphin pointing out a problem Wii U will have.
That said, almost every console has this problem. Didn't the 360 have to compete with cheaper "core" content available for previous gen consoles, including its predecessor? Did't PS3 have to compete with cheaper "core" content available for previous gen consoles and 360? Aren't the 3DS and Vita RIGHT NOW competing with the cheaper content available for their predecessors?
Everyone, including this possibly hypothetical father, won't buy into Wii U immediately. Some people aren't so well-off, and like to wait a few years to buy tech when it's cheaper. This isn't a problem, it's a natural part of launching a new console.
If the guy is real, tell him to go ahead and get the Wii. He'll save a lot of money and his daughter will be happy (and probably won't know the difference).
