As I've said before, I don't think that is much of a real risk ...
The Wii U is more expensive, larger, and runs hotter than the Wii was at launch because the Wii U is (relatively speaking) more advanced hardware. While it may not represent a massive leap above the HD consoles that could be explained by the HD consoles being more expensive, being larger and running hotter than any major console before because they were releasing hardware that was years ahead of what was typical for a console manufacturer. To get a similar advantage over the Wii U next generation consoles would be even more expensive, larger and run hotter than the PS3 and XBox 360 did which would likely make them very unpopular.
