The Wii U seems like it was a selfishly made console, as in made FOR nintendo fans, especially those that also have PS360s. I won't undermine the gamepad etc, because I love it, but MOST PEOPLE NEED a VISUAL demonstration, that yes, this is in fact a substantial upgrade over the old systems.
Its pretty much the 3ds situation, it will take off once the price drops, especially when its going against the more expensive new M$sony consoles. White barebones @ $249, deluxe $299, like most wanted for launch.
So IMO its not about the games, its the entry price, like Vita, that people are turned off by. If Nintendo wanted to truly gain the hardcore fan, they would have more power, selling it at their current price point, and once that crowd has the hardware thats when software will make up for those losses. But Nintendo isn't aggressive like that as we all know, IMO they really failed on capitalizing on Wii's name/success. This was their time to get "revenge" with the gamecube situation....oh well.
