Dreamcast had way better graphics than PS1 and Saturn at launch, Wii U has nothing with way better graphics than PS3 and X360 titles 6 months after launch.
But we all know why Dreamcast failed, because everyone was waiting for PS2 the same way everyone is waiting for PS4 and X720 |
Yeah, the DC's failures was more a fault of Sega's bad moves and their bad finances, Sony just capitalised on it. Insinuating WiiU will be DC'ed when PS4/720 launch is as laughable and silly as when people said it for DS, 3DS, Xbox 360 or any other system that launched before it's competitors.

Wii U is selling worse than Vita and more competition won't help, "just wait until Wii U games come out" nextbox and PS4 will have their own exclusives too at launch and superior looking multiplats and games only made for those 2 consoles like The Witcher or Deep Down. Kinect 2 gimmick looks to be way more appealling to consumers than the gamepad gimmick. Nintendo Dreamcasted themselves.

Well Sega's system did compete more directly with Sony's playstation do than Nintendo's systems do, so i don't think you can make that comparison that directly. Nintendo has a much bigger following and as the Gamecube era showed they can be self sustaining to a certain level.
However the Gamecube could compete with the PS2 and Xbox directly if it was needed and multiplatform games where equal in quality overall compared to it's competitors. In many way's the Gamecube could still be a primary system even for ''hardcore'' gamers. But with the Wii Nintendo kind of gave a big middle finger towards that hardcore demographic by going almost entirely casual. In some ways you could state that Wii-U is in a worse position than the Gamecube was, since Wii-U can't even try to compete with PS4 and the Next Xbox for the ''hardcore'' market.
