I don't think price of Wii U devkits is the issue here....but its a start. Good job Nintendo!

I think for Indie and small developers it is a huge issue.

The devkits cost over $20k.

Well if indies are getting free devkits then it is a huge plus. But indie developers generally  have a small staff and limited resources so if given the option to make a PS4 game or a Wii U game, which will they choose?

Wii U obviously. Much larger install base and with a free dev kit (which I thought they were anyway), it just means less risk.

Though PC multiplatform would be the best way to go, like Toki Tori, Runner 2 and others.
