Does the world even want a WiiU?

I know several people who are looking to buy one but not now because they dont have the money. And these people are the same type of people who will eventually buy a PS4/Xbox. This is the major reason I know those two consoles are going to face the exact same thing the Wii U is going through. Because "It's nice but I don't have that much money right now." This is the market all 3 will have to contend with if they want to sell more than a few million the next five or so years.

The PS4 and Xbox wont have the same issues as Nintendo. Their issue is simpler than Nintendos. They know their crowd and they stay there.

Well yes but as BlkPaladin said, they may not have the money to fork out for a new xbox and playstation right away....things aint rosey at the moment for many...so it may not be as simple as releasing a console which targets their 'crowd'.

...and with a lot of 3rd party developers releasing versions of their upcoming games simultanoeusly  in next gen form for the ps4 and new xbox AS WELL as for the current gen consoles, I think there will be less incentive for many people to rush out and buy these new consoles, aside from the most devoted. I mean a fan of Ass Creed wont have to buy a next gen console to play Ass Creed 4, so  yeah, I can see the possibility of the next gen 'hardcore' consoles being in the exact same position as the wii u this time next year (not saying they wont succeed, I just think both consoles will probably launch badly, or underperform, cos people will be hesitant.)
