Even if the Wii U is the last console (there'll probably be at least one more), it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Nintendo will still develop games for the console. Soon, we'll get to a saturation point when just increasing power won't work; technology to do so will become to expensive.
In my opinion, Microsoft and Sony are more likely to stop making new consoles after 'next gen', as Nintendo's focus is more innovation-based. I'm even tempted to say the 3DS could be the last handheld; Nintendo will just keep developing more games for it. No doubt I'll be proved wrong.
Also, the 3ds struggled a lot during it's first 2 quarters or so.
Seems that the main problem with the Wii U is, like one of the Vita's problems, lack of TV advertising. I only think I've seen 2 Wii U adverts on TV.
However, the casual market will eventually notice. Once people notice the Wii isn't getting much new games, or any at all, the Wii U sales should pick up.
I really like the control scheme for KI:U. It seemed very natural, for these reasons: Circle pad controls movement, as you can move in every direction Touch screen controls aim, as you can only properly aim in the direction you face L trigger to fire, as firing a gun is just a pull of a trigger.
Hmm...as others have said, this is a problem, but it's too early to judge yet. However, I don't think Nintendo will get the same casual fanbase numbers as the Wii, as they probably think they don't need another console. I think console gaming in this upcoming 'generation' will become less popular, but I certainly hope not.

This looks promising, so I'll be keeping an eye on it. However, I'm not sure I like the episodic direction. It could work, however.

Not sure of the answer, but took an educated guess.
Will be getting Harmoknight if I somehow win.

@Rizsparky
Most likely stores like WH Smiths.
Or you could subscribe. I think it was £3 or £4 for a 4 issue subscription

I reckon I'll just stick with Official Nintendo Magazine, I doubt there'll be enough worthwhile content to fill 100 pages. I could be wrong, though.
