They essentially did this with the DS, the gameboy advance came out in 2001, and the DS came out in 2004. I don't remember anyone having a problem with that.

Game Boy Advance probably had a bunch of games by then that made it a worthwhile purchase. The Wii U has some but probably no where close to that extent. Hell,  Wii U may not get Zelda Wii U by 2015 and Smash Bros and X can get delayed until then. Game Boy Advance at least had Pokemon before the DS was announced.

And Nintendo dodged a bullet there for introducing a successor so quickly.
