The fact that the Wii U has no next-gen competitors at the moment is a point in its favor. It has the next 9 months to build up momentum before Sony and/or Microsoft's next console launches. The Vita already has little hope of escaping from the shadow of its competition. By the time the other 8th-gen home consoles launch, Wii U will probably already have Wind Waker HD, 3D Mario, and Mario Kart. Possibly Bayonetta 2, probably Yoshi's Epic Yarn. Its services will be more developed than they are now. Potential customers will be faced with a choice between a buggy new console with an unimpressive launch line-up and a less expensive console with a decent established library that has worked out its kinks. Personally, I like Wii U's chances.
