I'm fine with the strategy they went with. Do I wish they would have beefed it up a bit more? Sure, but ultimately graphics don't matter that much to me. If I want to play pretty multiplats, I go to my PC.
Nintendo in fact is the only company who I believe is doing consoles right. They are focusing on new play controls, good software, at a cheap price. If you want good looking multiplats, really what you want is a gaming PC.
That being said, power does matter in that really the games need to not hurt my eyes. The Wii was too weak for its time, but we are starting to hit a graphics wall, so I think I'll be happy with how the Wii U looks.
But they really need to change their strategy in a few respects. Software output has to increase. If they really have billions lying around like everyone says, then they need to put that back into new teams/working with third parties on exclusives.
Another thing they absolutely have to do that they are taking baby steps with is online. One of the benefits of a console is a unified online community. Miiverse is great, and Nintendo has improved drastically from the Wii, but they need to make it fully featured. Make it super easy to play with my friends Nintendo.
Kind of a rant, but TL:DR Nintendo is making a unique console while the other two manufactures are going to be making gaming PC's that are under powered for a gaming PC. I like the strategy that they are taking, but it needs to be improved upon.
