1.1) Why they are buying PS4/XBone instead of WiiU
Because people seem to like realism and real-looking games much more than fantasy colourfull games. They like action, weapons, shootings. They like amazing graphics and can be attracted by them really easily. They like cinematic games. They think of nintendo as kiddie games, because they are mainly colourfull. They like online multiplayer. They are "bound" to Sony or MS by PSN/XBL subscription. Their friends with whom they want to play all the online multiplayer action games also have got only this console.
1.2) Why they are buying PS4/XBone at all
They completely go crazy for even minor graphic updates (of course there are exceptions) and so rather buy a new console to have a bit better graphics than stick to PS360 for the same games with a bit worse graphics. They are following marketing and hype about insanely powerful hardware even though the games (see the sentence before) mainly are looking only slightly better.
To be honest I do not not why people are buying a new console for games, which they can also play on their old console. It has to do something with slightly improved graphics. Maybe they think the old console is so old, it only can do bad graphics right now, so i better buy a new one.
2) NOTHING at all - just prepare for the next generation ...
