People need to grow up honestly, the days where the industry is 9-10 year olds and the only way to get a new console meant having it as a Christmas gift are long since over.
I mean heck even in the 80s, most people only got their NES in 1988 or 1989, meaning Nintendo replaced that system after 2-3 years for most people by launching the Super NES in 1991. The NES was nothing in 85/86, it wasn't even widely carried by most big chain retailers until '87 at the earliest.
The Sega CD and 32X are completely different stories, the Sega CD had little software support and was very expensive. At $300 ($474 in today's dollars) in 1992 it cost like double the price of the Genesis itself. The 32X was supported for like 3 months and then Sega released the Saturn seven months later (lol) in the US.
The Wii U is more like the XBox 1 which run from 2001-2005, no one complains about that.
