Far from it actually. If the PS4 and 720 only offer technological advancements and an above 399.99$ price point, then it will underperform. Wii U has smartly positioned itself to be a sustainable business model where rising costs is not an issue as oppose to PS4 and 720 where, judging by reports, could cost developers double than what current gen is.

I doubt that will even begin to be a bother to the big developers, given how this gen is already polarized between blockbusters and failures, and the smaller ones probably will go towards iOS and Android, as they are now, instead of the Wii U.
Of course that could lead to stagnation and probably a market crash a few years from now but wishful thinking isn't going to change that. I'm going to enjoy what comes my way while it lasts.
