Everyone should care about specs, as they drive games forward. Developers have more scope for their games if they have more power. Console makers should push for hardware on the powerful side so early adopters and enthusiasts can drive the prices down for everyone else, and there isn't a disadvantage for everyone else as the previous gen doesn't just disappear in the meantime.
What Nintendo seems to be doing with the Wii U is try and cut the legs off the PS360, rather than compete directly with the PS4 and XB1. It's a valid strategy, but doesn't give developers much to look forward to.
