The Problem is, PS3 costs about half as much as the Wii U and gets GTA 5, The Last of Us and Beyond this year. Nintendo just can't keep up with that, that's why I think sales will pick up when the old generation dies. The Wii U can very wel compete with PS4 and Xbox 3, the price alone will take care of that. But against PS3 and 360 Nintendo got no chance at all. Too expensive, too few games, no mass appeal. Even Nintendos First Party titles won't change that all that much.
The Wii U also can't be compared to the 3DS, because the competition is a lot tougher. The Vita was dead on arrival, while 360 and PS3 are very healthy and have a shitload of games for low prices. Now I don't care if you call Wii U Last Gen or Next Gen, but at the moment it's definitely in direct competition with the 7th Gen. But so will be PS4 and Xbox 3.
In the end, there's no way Nintendo is going to dominate like with the Wii. But even if they come out last place, they should be ok. Until the new consoles from Microsoft and Sony have launched, the Wii U can't be really judged, so we will just have to wait and see.
