Next generation console development is seriously hurting the Wii U.

"You have two major options, either you maintain old code and port the Wii U or you can work on completely new architectures and take on new challenges so which one do you pick?"

This makes no sense. The Wii U has a new architecture, not the same as the Xbox 360 and PS3. That is why developers have had problems porting games to it. The next gen will have an architecture similar to the Wii U.
