The problem will be that the Wiiu will be sandwiched between the two camps. Bare in mind that I'm not from the 'Wiiu is doomed' group of people ... I think it will be fine. Having said that, I think that one of the reasons the Wiiu isn't doing too well at the moment is because a lot of people are waiting to see what the 720 and the PS4 have to offer. So those that CAN afford a little more are likely to invest in the more powerful consoles, while those that are a little strapped for cash could opt for either the Wiiu, PS3 or 360.
The 360 and the PS3 could actually benefit from the Wiiu being on the market because a lot of launch game for the next gen consoles will have a 'this gen' version too. Here lies to problem for the Wiiu though. Will it get the 360/PS3 version of the game or the 720/P34 version of the game? This will be the ultimate test of just how powerful the Wiiu is and frankly, from what I've seen so far on the Wiiu and what I've seen so far on the PS4, the Wiiu is unlikely to get the next gen version. You may see 'some' improvements but not the leap next gen will offer.
This will leave the 720 and the PS4 space to battle it out whilst the Wiiu will have to battle against not only 2 next gen consoles but 2 'cheaper' current gen consoles. Unless the pad becomes a HUGE factor in consumers choice, I just can't see the Wiiu getting anywhere near the numbers that the Wii did.
The PS5 Exists.
