I think Wii U is in big trouble for 2013 and will find itself in a post-launch lull much like the 3DS did after it launched, which will force Nintendo to drop by $50 by E3 time or so.

It's the most expensive console on the market, it has the fewest games, it's not getting any of the big third party games for 1st half 2013 (GTA, BioShock, DmC, MGS Rising, etc.), and there doesn't appear to be any of the "big gun" Nintendo IP coming for the 1st half this year either -- no 3D Mario, Mario Kart, DKC, or Zelda on the horizon until fall 2013 at the earliest probably.

My feeling is Wii FIt U is not going to do much either ... that's an idea that had it's time in the sun a few years ago, much like Brian Training and Nintendogs didn't do much for the 3DS. People aren't going to pay $350 to play Wii Fit again. 

I think they're in trouble especially at that price point. PS3/360 are going to eat their lunch and then attention is probably going to start to shift to the 720/PS4 at E3.
