Wii was there to save the day. It was an affordable console marketed toward everyone from kids to grandmas.

I think the big question here is that since Wii U isn't selling well, what will pick up the slack? PS4 or XBox 720? It's tough predict since both of these will be about $500. Maybe none of them will. The industry will be kept afloat by PS3 and 360 for a few more years until the others become affordable.

Didn't you forget anyone on your post? hint: starts with W and ends with U

No, I didn't forget anything. From the looks of things, Wii U will be another Gamecube. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.

I see PS3 + 360 being touch competition for Wii U since they both have massive libraries and a cheaper price tag. These will stay on the shelves for a few more years and by the time they're not, PS4/720 will be affordable to the masses. I really don't see how Wii U can compete with current-gen consoles. let alone next-gen ones. Nintendo has a lot of convincing to do. 

from the looks of what, exactly? if wii u is still not selling AFTER receiving it's AAA exclusives then you can say that.

you have all the right to think wii u can't compete with ps360 but you are FORCED to think ps4 and nextbox can't compete with them either. if you don't that would be hypocrisy because those consoles will face their cheap predecessors too. it's also interesting when you say nintendo has a lot of convincing to do, as if the others don't have to do a thing to be successfull.
