The Wii U might be a huge failure given its terrible performance and support so far. I'd be very thankful if it ends up a close third.

Really?
Ok, lets look for example at the PS4 now. Its not backwards compatible, it will be crazy expensive with that RAM and eye-toy bundled, most games will be available on the 360/PS3, the graphical leap is hardly noticeable, and none of the revealed titles made much of a splash. Who do you think is gonna take the leap on this device come next christmas, instead of getting a PS3 for the great library of games and GoW Ascension and Last of us for example? What reason is there to get one besides fans? The PS4 will see sales just like the Wii U does now. Decent launch, then sales will drop like crazy until the old consoles stop getting all the games, wich seems unprobable as 3rd parties need to sell 1 million + to justify the investments. Whats the safe bet?
On the other hand, picture the Wii U with a lower price point, new 3D mario, mario kart and zelda WW this christmas (besides some multiplatforms aswell like watch dogs). Really, must i spell it out to you?
The world isnt anxious to jump in on a new console generation. There is no visible benefit to do so. Only hardcores are anxious to get a new console, but it will be left gathering dust for a year as usual. The world is in a crisis, not many people can find an excuse to spend 400-600 dollars/euros on a dust gathering box.
