Whats the more impressive is Sony fanboys saying the Wii U is doomed. Seriously... how did things go with the PS3? Epic short memory.

The difference is the PS3 was a power house but too expensive and no one outside the inner circle of Sony did know how to develop for it.At the same time Microsoft was with a comparable console that aimed for the same gaming community already 1 year out and the complete oposite in terms of "developer friendly".
But 3rd Party was eager to work on the PS3 and especially after Sony did put out new SDKs and lowered the price with the PS3 Slim everyone was happy.
On the other side you have right now EPIC with the Unreal Engine 4 aka the Engine that will be used the MOST again in this Gen saying "Lol only for NextGen but you have UE3 and hope someone is nice enough to port the games"
Same goes for Frostbite 3 Engine aka the Engine that is probably 2nd behind the UE4 in terms of games it will be used for.
The console is already missing out on the 2 most used Engines...
Call of Duty didn't sell on the WiiU so Activision will probably won't waste much on it either.
Don't compare the WiiU situation to the situation the PS3 was in.
Nintendo can lower the console price to 5$ but the games won't come cause the Engines won't run on it.
The boosts it will get with such small games like Lego are comparable to the boosts Microsoft got through J-RPGs in Japan.Didn't help much either over the long run.
If you buy a Nintendo Console you do it these days for the Nintendo IPs and a handful of others and thats it.

You're forgetting that Nintendo can sell consoles on the merits of the games it makes. No disrespect to Sony's 1st party franchises, but they don't have the ability to sell a console like a new Smash Bros, 3D Mario, Mario Kart or Zelda can. The games will come to Nintendo's system regardless because Nintendo is the one manufacturing the games that sell their system to begin with. Sony's 1st party franchises don't quite have that pedigree yet.
People won't buy the Wii U to play third party games for the most part. They'll buy it to play the next Smash Bros, or Mario, or Zelda, or Metroid, or whatever else, because the Wii U is the only platform you can play those games on.
Wii U will be fine. Even with the mediocre offering of games it's had so far, it still managed to sell 3 million+ units in the span of 3 months, and the couple of third party offerings this month have showed that with a steady influx of software, it'll be fine. All these ridiculous cries of doom and gloom will be done when the 1st party games arrive.
