Also, ever tried any of the games on the Wii that are console exclusive that aren't Zelda/Mario? The Wii has Metroid Prime which far outscores many huge name competitor console games, Gamecube compatibility (so that's Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Killer 7, Beyond Good and Evil, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, ect. in there), Virtual Console (that's Castlevania, Super Metroid, Link To The Past, Sin And Punishment, Ocarina Of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Pilotwings, Paper Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog 1/2/3, Gradius, Super Mario Bros 1/2/3, Metroid, Starfox 64/Lylat Wars, Wave Race 64, 1080 Snowboarding, Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario RPG, Super Castlevania, R-Type, ect. down), and has a bunch of games like No More Heroes, Madworld, Sin And Punishment 2, The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, ect, which overall just leaves the Wii as a console with much more value for money, less carbon copy games (sure, Mini Game Compilations are common, but it's hit the PS3 when it got Move and the Xbox when it got Kinect, and the Wii works far better than those) which a general lack of the generic FPS you tend to get on Xbox or PS3, and it has far more legendary games available to fight off the PS3's PS1 Classics and lack of PS2 compatibility, as well as the Xbox's arcade.
As for the Wii U, if it pulls the same trick as the Wii and has a tone of back-compatibility, as well as some good 1st and 2nd party games, it's got extremely strong chances.
It doesn't help that I hate every platformer involving Mario, I'm not a fan of Mario Kart, and I CBA to try Zelda, let alone buy a console just for it.Because the Wii totally didn't colossally outsell all of its competitors.
Oh, and apparently, the Wii U hardware will be the same as the current gen 360/PS3. If so, this is another huge fail.
Nintendo are going bust, trust me. It will sell very poorly outside the Nintendo fanbase because the Wii was so terrible.
