To be honest I'm not interested in the Wii-U right now but I think given the hardware spec Nintendo have timed it's release very well with a full 12 months at retail before any real competition comes into play. I know they dont play hardball with hardware but I am seriously concerned that in a year or so this is going to look like very old technology when it's competitors will be aiming for higher benchmarks?
I've read about all the launch woes affecting users at the moment and they seem to be hilarious in their range of inept mistakes around the online space but we all know what Nintendo do well is craft decent first party titles and experiences. I really think they're going to have to deliver to great franchise favourites in this first year out of the gate to bolster the platforms appeal this time next year.
New Super Mario Bros is a good start but I'm of course talking Metroid, Zelda, F-Zero etc... If they leave it all to stagnate PS Vita style and rely on slightly upgraded 3rd party titles I think they're going to find it hard.
