Wii U 'Has A Horrible, Slow CPU' Says Metro Last Light Dev

The biggest 3 problems I see for Nintendo right now are:

1) The average consumer might think it's a $300 tablet accessory for the Wii, not a brand new console;

2) PS3/360 owners have little reason to get the Wii U without any killer apps, as whatever 3rd party titles come to the Wii in the next 12-18 months will likely launch on PS3/360. 

3) Certain developers are already saying they won't develop games for Wii U in the near future. That's never a good sign and shows Nintendo needs to figure out a way to court 3rd party developers. With initially low install base of Wii U consoles on the market (5-6 million by Spring 2013?), developers aren't going to be that eager to spend $ porting games to the Wii U.

Point #2 means all those people will be sitting on the sidelines waiting on killer/unique games to come to the Wii U but only Nintendo can deliver them as no 3rd party developer is going to go out of their way (without $ bribes) to make Wii U exclusive titles and not release them to capitalize on the massive current userbase of Xbox 360/ PS3 (i.e., GTA V coming first to those 2 consoles as opposed to Wii U or PC). The real danger is if Nintendo doesn't get any killer games in the next 12-18 months and builts up a minimum userbase of 10 million gamers, by then PS4 / Xbox next will launch and Nintendo's console may look outdated with a small userbase. They should have launched the console with a revolutionary Super Mario, Zelda, Metroid game to make sure the current PS3/360 owners take notice. Those gamers aren't going to be spending $300 just to play AC3, Batman AC or Black Ops 2 on the Wii U when they probably already bought them for their current consoles. 

why would anybody think they need a new console that goes along with a controller for a an old console they already have? this is actually one of the reasons why Nintendo is not selling the GamePad as a separate controller in the west yet.
