Most people don't care. 

When they buy a video game console they want the one that has all the games. Not one or two good Mario/Zelda games every 2-3 years. 

That formula just doesn't work, no one would buy a movie format that only have 3-4 good movies a year on it, why Nintendo thinks this concept works for more expensive game consoles is kind of a mystery to me really. 

They do care, the reception to the E3 2012 teaser was overwhelmingly positive.

And that's why Wii U needs to be cheaper, so it can be a "companion" console.

$99 couldn't convince a lot of people to buy a GCN as a companion console. 

If I only have a limited amount of time to spend on video games to begin with, I don't need a companion console, there are a million other things I could spend my money on. 

Nintendo needs to get it through their heads that consumers don't sit around waiting for them to get their sh*t together. They are perfectly content without them.
