I expected the Wii U to sell poorly because all of the casuals who bought the Wii and got burned on it wouldn't be interested in the next iteration with yet again last gen graphics and gimmick controller, especially with how overpriced it was at launch. At the time you could have bought a Wii U for $300 at the lowest with 8GB storage and no game, or you could have bought a PS3 bundle with 500gb of storage for $250, or a PS3 or Xbox 360 for $179 - $199 with 4-12GB of storage and seven years of a back catalog of games.
With the leaked specs of the PS4 and Xbox One, and the announcement of how easy the PS4 was to develop for during February 22nd, I was pretty sure right then the PS4 won. but I thought it would have been reasonably close. It wasn't until the price announcement $499 and $399 that it was clear it was going to be a run away win with the PS4.
