Nintendo consoles perform different from Sony and MS ones. Just because it was able to match or exceed the expensive PS3/360 launches, it doesn't mean Wii U will be ok in the long run. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Wii U WILL NOT have the 3rd party support for it to have healthy sales 5+ years from now. Nintendo's first party offerings are what will make or break this consoles. We saw how well that worked out for the Gamecube.
