Yup, it is similar to the 360 launch. No real anticipation and people wondering if it was really next gen material, because the perceived graphical leap seemed so small and the competitors' systems still largely existed in a fantasy world (remember, the PS3 in particular was supposed to blow the 360 out of the water).

[...]  The only similarity between the 360 and the WiiU is they both released first in their generation.

This is actually good news for Nintendo, at least initially.  Nintendo expects 5.5m units sold by March 31, 2013; whereas it took the 360 an entire year on the market to accomplish that.
