more and more people are going back to PC gaming, the smart phone market is putting a damper on gaming, and people as a whole aren't going to buy into the "generational gaming" model anymore.. if anything else, Nintendo is going to be the only console that succeeds AGAIN next gen. I wouldn't be so sure the ps4 or xbox 720 are going to be such a hit, in fact, I predict Microsoft or Sony to not even be in the gaming marketing in 10 years.. Nintendo will still be around.
Considering that most people don't even know what a fricking wii u is I doubt it. There were WiiUs lying around gamestop for weeks after launch.

I'm serious, this is going to become more and more of the case from this point on. Consoles DO NOT SELL in the first year anymore.
I currently bought a VITA - the sales for the VITA were downright awful.. for a year after the release. After the year mark hit - and new games started coming out - sales have almost caught up with the 3DS.
The 3DS was selling awful, after a year they did a price cut, and released a bunch of new games for it.. the sales quadrupled.. people are less likely to buy consoles or gaming systems during the release year than ever before. Especially because most gamers are building their own PCs that are much MUCH more powerful than even what the next gen will be, and getting their games from steam for half the cost of a console game.
But once games that can only be found on that system start coming out.. sales increase exponentially, that's why Ninty wins this gen: because they have the most exclusive gaming lineup of any of the consoles.. in fact, they have more exclusive games - than both consoles combined.
