I think it means the other consoles are in danger. Look at the Vita, state of the art and selling terribly. |
Or the Vita does poorly because it is trying to be a portable home console in a world that increasingly wants handheld gaming to be more casual 10 minute time wasters than 60 hour RPG or intense action games. It could be that the Vita is the best handheld that nobody was asking for and it's technology has nothing to do with.
But that doesn't translate to the home. At home people want to buy the best machine with the best graphics and the best games. At home they want what they hook up to their giant HDTV to be as visualy spectacular as possible.
If the Nextbox and PS4 do end up to be far more powerfull the Wii U will be in trouble. The same trouble that the Wii faced, but this time the soccor mom's aren't excited for a balance board and the retirement homes already have Wii Sports and don't need anything else. This time missed ports will matter much earlier.
With that said, I'm still going to buy a Wii U when the real Mario, Zelda and Metroid games hit. But just like the Wii I doubt I'll buy many 3rd party games for it. It will be my Nintendo box just like my previous Nintendo machines.
