"It was never intended as a next generation console"

Video game trade site MCV Pacific has posted an interesting opinion piece which speculates that the Wii U is merely a stopgap to lift Nintendo's flagging fortunes following the false start of the 3DS (in the west, at least) and plummeting Wii sales.

What the heck is this 3DS false start I am hearing about?  If the 3DS is now having a false start, does that make the Vita a DOA?

 

To some extent every console is a stopgap to the following generation.
