Put a fork in the Wii U, it is done. [Sensible discussion only, no flaming]

Wasn't this the exact same discussion people had about the 3DS in it's first year? 

"3D is a gimmick!"

"Vita is coming and it's so much more powerful and has a much better screen."

"Why should I get the 3DS when PSP/DS has a bigger library and is cheaper?"

There were tons of arguments on why Nintendo was doomed because of the 3DS but it all came down to hardware, and how it was barely stronger than PSP (or arguements that it was weaker.) and because of that there was no way in the world Nintendo could save themselves from failing. I'm going to call it right now, Both the PS4 and 720 will start the exact same way the Wii U did. They're gonna have great initial sales as the diehard fans and interested parties buy the systems, and then they're going to trickle off into nothing as the inevitable software drought hits. This happens with pretty much EVERY console. I don't see it changing anytime soon. It takes time for consoles to have big enough libraries to justify a purchase/upgrade from the previous gen.
