Why can't the U just be a late bloomer?

[wary-wallaroo]

I love my Wii U, but the thing is, just like the X1, Nintendo and MS produced undesirable consoles. The Ps4 offers everything one would need (unless you absolutely can't live without the 1000th Halo, Forza, or Gears). This is an obstacle that neither of them will be able to overcome this gen. The PS4 will dominate and there's nothing they can do short of something drastic (like MS doing a $200 price cut or something and even then it'd only help in NA).
