Really there is only three reasons someone woudn't have bought it.

1) No games I want to play. (this fits people who dislike Nintendo as well as those just not interested in what's here now)

2) Don't have the money to buy one yet.

3) Waiting for price drop.

#1 will mostly never get one as they will largely prefer first party of MSony and just go that route. But there is a smaller sub-group that is just waiting for that exclusive game or set of games. So a small portion of this group will buy one eventually.

#2 and 3 will eventually get a Wii U.

@Bold: 

I doubt that's the case since Nintendo has only released one of their big games (2D Mario). There's still plenty of games unreleased like Smash Bros, Mario Kart, etc. that a lot of people, including Nintendo fans, are waiting for. So I wouldn't be surprised if a fairly large portion of fans of those games haven't bought a Wii U because they are waiting on those games. Labelling them as a "smaller sub-group" is probably wrong.

OT: No point in buying a new console when my current consoles are keeping me more than busy at the moment.
