i would say wii u failed initially by trying to be all things to all people. it's only now that's it's carving out an identity for itself that it's having some well-deserved if modest success. the quote you're referring to is a statement of principle... that it's better to be apple and invent the ipad and then have samsung and everyone else copy you than it is to be the copycat. same way the wii mainstreamed motion controls and then you had ps move and kinect trying (ultimately unsuccessfully) to outdo it.

anyway, they'll do fine this cycle. they'll sell at or around gamecube levels, produce amazing games and move on to hopefully greener pastures in 2017.

Which is a terrible mind set to have.  It is not easy to make something revolutionary and more often than not a product trying to do that will fail.  Lighting struck with the Wii, chances are its never gonna happen again.
