It has begun - Wii U is doomed.

No the Wii U is not doomed, it's way to early call it that at the moment, the generation has barely started and only 1 out of 3 consoles are out. lets re-assess this once the PS4 and 720 have been on the market for 1 year, then we will have a better picture of how things will go.

I will say this about the Wii U and Nintendo.

Nintendo have gone from being a leader in innovation with the Wii motion controls which at it's time did not exist, to being a follower with the Wii U tablet controller, in a time where tablets are popular and the choices abundant.

I understand that the Wii U tablet control is not a proper tablet, but most will see it as much, and this is the problem, because people who don't frequent forums nor are avid gamers in the know, will simply assume it's a tablet and in that mind set the default choice seems to be the Ipad. As popular as Nintendo is it can not compete with the mind share Apple has. Nintendo needs to do a hell of a job to educate it's target market otherwise they maybe in trouble.

I guess time will tell.
