Honestly, people who think the PS4 or 720 will sell boatloads will soon be hit with reality. It's funny to me how those who say "Wii U only sold well initially because of those fanboys", yet, that same logic can also be applied for every other console launch and the upcoming next gen consoles. If you think an average consumer will pick up a PS4 or next-Box for over $400, you're sadly mistaken.
At the end of the day, arguing over which console is better or whether Wii U is considered current or next gen is really pointless. From my point of view, I think the Wii U will do just fine and frankly the leap just isn't as big as people are making it out to be. Yes, more RAM on PS4 makes the Wii U look anemic, but I really think Sony did that to future proof PS4 as this upcoming gen goes down the line. 6.5GB of RAM will not be used in its entirety for another 2 or so years, I think. I'm extremely optimistic about the Wii U's future and cannot wait for the great games to come my way. I'm also looking forward to playing Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs and ACIV (among other fantastic 3rd party titles) along with my Pikmin, Marios, Kirby, Zelda, etc. As for the PS4. I'll probably get it in 2 years when the price comes down and when they through some nifty bonuses because knowing how strong the competition is going to be between MS and Sony, I know both will try to undercut each other.
Sony's consoles has never been a personal priority for me, just as everyone else has their preferences and view points. I like how Nintendo is trying to be different and spice up the gaming industry with their ideas. Hopefully the Wii U follows the success of the DS/3DS and not the Wii, GCN and N64. Nintendo's handhelds always got the best treatment, and as someone who prefers handhelds over consoles/PC, the concept behind the Wii U excites me.
As for the next Xbox, I really have no interest. Microsoft is far too reliant on 3rd party software and they let some great IPs go to waste (looking at you RARE). That's why for me, PS4 will probably be the go to place to get your amazing games made in-house by Sony as well the fantastic 3rd party titles that console is bound to get. I'm truly excited for the future of Wii U and PS4 (and subsequently, 3DS), and all this incessant bickering really needs to come to an end. It's never going to happen, but people really need to burn them "Fanboy" cards they stack up in their deck and play out all the time. It's meaningless and tacky, and often, used on the wrong people anyhow.
Everyone needs a bit of optimism. Try it.
