Great article and surprising thinking outside the enthusiast box for a game site.
Where I differ is I think tablets (and gaming tablets) will kill a lot of WiiU's potential sales. And I think the gamepad for a casual gamer might hurt WiiU sales. Tablets offer far better value and why buy a tablet-esque device (with overpriced games) when you can just get a tablet? Dual screen/asymetrical play/blah blah means nothing to those consumers. The advantages of WiiU's gamepad aren't obvious and the advantages of a tablet are.
Also if MS does have deals in place where broadcast companies are subsidizing 720 sales (like cell phone companies subsidize cell phones) we could see free 360 or $99/$199 720 with a 2-3 year commitment. That'll undercut WiiU and scuttle it's sales.
