Everything you just said was also said about Wii U. I will be on the side of caution. And not buy, till I see it do actually good.  Because the mobile market could do good. Since cheap games to make. But than the system market falls a part again, for the same reasons.

None of that was said about Wii U.

"Improving upon on the the Wii U is not a hard task, there are so many things Nintendo done wrong that the logical step is for Nintendo to improve upon it. Normally when someone has an unexpectedly successful generation (PS2, wii, 360) they become complacent and make poor, ill thought out decisions. When they perform more modestly or fall below expectation (gamecube, Xbox, PS3) they tend to come back with a thoroughly well thought out console and business plan."

This is basically what people where saying about Wii U, before launch.

If it's before launch, it would have to be said about improving over the Wii. But the wii was very sucessfull, therefore people weren't saying those things about it (not to mention Wii U improved on what wii lacked anyway).
