I don't know. I see it as a risky thing, financially. That thing'll probably be expensive, I'm not paying 200 bucks for a Wii U controller substitute and because everyone is expecting this super high quality games, more devs will lean towards the Wii U because it's more affordable and safer to develop for.

Didn't happen with the Wii.

It's hard to deny the crappiness of the Wii compared to its competitors, but the Wii U has HD now and Nintendo is stronger than ever in the console market.
I've seen how the superior PSVita is competing with the 'inferior' 3DS; the 3DS, dispite the rocky start, is leading. That has to do with supply-and-demand and price. I see people hanging on to their PS3s rather than dishing out 500 bucks I'm guessing the thing'll cost at least to upgrade. No one is going to pay 200 bucks for a faux Wii U Gamepad just to have the ability to play without the TV, if they didn't have the Vita already.
It's going to be pricey, Diablo III is getting a PS3 port too, so why not buy that instead of investing half a grand for sexier graphics and if people had to choose between a 500+ bucks system and a 350 one, most'll lean towards the cheaper option.
Again, I might be a bit biased and really wrong. Just putting my thoughts out there.
