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.

Nobody can be certain of that. Vita is still struggling (although  getting two great weeks in Japan) and it´s clear that fans alone can´t guarantee that high expensive consoles can be sucessfull.  As the market shrinks year after year, the most likely scenario is that every console from now on will have slow starts, just like 3DS and Vita had and WiiU is having right now.

The Vita is a handheld. It was never a majorly strong item. Nintendo has always ruled that ball court even above their consoles and Sony has always run the show with consoles. Its as simple as that. You will see.
