You mentioned price so I told you a what it is competing with.  Not to mention that the PS3/X360 will likely drop price as well soon.

Why 3rd party will once again not support them as much as the MSFT/Sony?  Because t3rd parties cant sell well on Nintendo products.  3rd party ends up being better on opponents hardware there for people spend there money on the better 3rd party version.  Nintendo's 1st party games over shadow 3rd party as well. Just look at all of the releases recently that has been ignoring the WiiU.  Now ask yourself why that is?

I mean I didn't bring up the 720.  I am mostly just giving scenarios when looking at the Wii U vs "next gen" (I consider Wii U next gen).  Even if the PS3/360 drop in price, they are soon to be irrelevant to many gamers.  It may take some time before the transition is completed, but it will happen eventually.

I also am not saying Nintendo will get more 3rd party support than Microsoft or Sony, I am just not jumping the gun as we don't know exactly how it will play out.  We can try to rationalize why Nintendo wont and they may be good reasons, but they are not conclusive.
