This new found certainty of Nintendo fans that the Wii U will end up 2. is kinda unfounded

Yes, it will. Why? Because it doesn't compete with XOne and PS4 and is way cheaper/smaller.

PS4 and Xbox One are so similar in specs, offer, market and games, that they'll only be one winner this time, and as of now PS4 sold 157% what Xbox One sold, and predictions are not set to reverse.

So if ever people buy a second console on the cheap, it won't be the Xbox One (or PS4 if they bought a One) but a Wii U.

What makes you so certain that people are more likely to buy a wii u rather than an xbox one or a ps4?
