mario kart looks fantastic and the wii u hardware is ultra cheap to manufacture making a substantial price cut possible. Come September we may find Nintendo have announced a few great wii u bundles for christmas at a much more competitive price. With this in mind I think wii u will not be surpassed by xbox one this year. I think there will be momentum away from xbox one as the ps4 becomes the clear leader this generation.
The xbox one only has the USA, Canada and UK as viable markets and even those markets the ps4 will start to dominate.
The wii u can be sold at a price point that the xbox one has no chance of reaching for years.
There is nothing in the wii u component list of value. It has no hard drive. The gamepad screen is a super cheap resistive design. Even £30 android tablets have 7" capacitiance type screens.
