I would be extremely pissed off. I think the Wii U is one of the finest consoles of all time, and much like the Dreamcast before it, it exists at a time where it's goals and mine coincide. I can be playing Donkey Kong or Mario on the GamePad while having something else on the main TV, like a sitcom, stand up comedy, or comfortable show I know well like Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I can lay in bed and play like I do with my Vita/3DS. This is how I want my console. This is perfect for me...
What I want from Nintendo is a one-console solution. A console that is both a home console and a true handheld in one. When you're in the house you use the TV and GamePad, but on the move you can take the GamePad with you, like you would your DS and play it on the move. You could even have it backwards compatible with both the Wii U and 3DS games. Allowing you to play Wii U games on the move, and play 3DS games on your big TV. This is the future I hope Nintendo go for, I'm not sure how they'd do it exactly, but it'd be awesome if they could. I'm watching out eagerly for the announcement of the Nintendo DSU in 2017-2018, and if it happens I will name myself forever a loyal Nintendo fan.
What I don't want though is a Hardcore HD Console, filled with grizzled brown haired men with guns grimacing at each other. We have plenty of consoles who do that already. I would consider it the death of Nintendo if they actively started courting the Playstation/Xbox gamers with promises of hardcore testosterone romps. I would morn them and move on. The last bastion of the carefree fun, Nintendo must remain as it is... it cannot die, it was hard enough losing Sega, let's not do that again.
So, would I be angry, YES! I'd be fucking livid. It would be an outright betrayal. You have 6 million people here Nintendo, and likely another 6 million still wanting to join who are simply waiting till they have the money to jump in, or waiting for a game like Smash Bros. or Mario Kart to make the switch over. I know at least 4 people who are currently saying, "I'm thinking of getting a Wii U soon". These people all believe in you. Don't let us down for the millions of CoD-kiddies out there who couldn't give a rats arse about Nintendo. We saved the princess, we killed mother brain, we rescued the seven sages. We threw the red shell, we captured the pikachu, and we found the banana horde. We're here to stay... look after us and you'll get my money every year, I promise you that Nintendo. If you leave us for the CoD-kiddies though, I won't be coming back. Have you seen what Mistress Sony can do with an OLED screen? Think about it.
