No, Microsoft's main rival is Apple and Google. Both those companies are working on their on TV offering, and so Microsoft needed to do something to stop them. Its quite smart if you think about it, because they are marketing Xbox One as something that you can play games on, watch TV, and many other things.

So what about the U that offers similar features, what about those?

It seems the points in OP aren't being addressed.

Nintendo has always made their consoles specifically for gaming. All the other TV stuff would never work on the WiiU and I don't even think that's the direction Nintendo wants to take. If Nintendo was serious about making their console a device that can do a vareity of tasks other than gaming then we would have seen them marketing the WiiU like that. 

Agreed. I think this is Nintendo's plan. They're distancing themselves from Sony and Microsoft. The Xbox ONE is a gaming console but also so, so much more. They, (MS) have wanted to take this route since the original Xbox. Nintendo must have seen it then. I think, to a certain point, Sony will try to follow MS with the whole entertainment thing, will not keep up, meanwhile leaving the WiiU and Nintendo as the only true gaming company.

This could work out really well for Nintendo and Microsoft, Sony has to be careful going forward or be left somewhere in the middle between MS' "all in ONE" vision and Nintendo's games only direction.
