People wanted something shiny and new, it's been a long time since a new home console launch.... Wii U had both the "last gen" and "gimmick" stigma of the Wii, without actually having that gimmick be compelling, so it didn't work. Xbone burned it's good will with gamers, and the PS4 is "cheaper and more powerful" so it benefits from people playing the same systems for longer then expected.
