If Nintendo had launched alongside Microsoft and Sony the stumble and delays would have probably been fatal, or at least exhausted much of the Wii U's early life (and early life is important for Nintendo hardware. Moreso than with Microsoft or Sony).
As is? At this point last generation the PS3 still required a second job, and the 360 wanted three fourths of a circle drawn in the blood, also known as the Red Ring of Death. This generation is still very young. There are many twists and turns yet to come.
