In the least, it's undoubtedly a given that it's going to have the largest number of female gamers. Iwata talked about the gender breakdown of the Wii and DS userbases fairly recently - one of them had a close to 50-50 split, and the other actually had slightly more female users. So Nintendo does have a very established track record of appealing to women and girls than any other major industry player, and as they've noted that the 3DS userbase is presently mostly male, they're openly focusing on appealing more to women with the platform, too. It's definitely a safe bet that the Wii U will be just as focused on that as all their other recent platforms. It doesn't hurt that the competition is largely single-mindedly focused on testosterone and 'realistic' violence-driven games above all else, either.

To put it simply, the Wii U is going to have the most influence on girls than any other 'home' console has had before.  This makes too much sense after a little thought, so I made this post.  Hello.  Although the examples we have seen for the console so far have been working titles etc, the concept for Wii U kinda seems appropriate for a female audience more than the likes of the 360 and the PS3.  

Spare a few thoughts to all the factors involved in the development of the Wii U, and what it stands for in this current time.  Can you say that it isn't quite fitting?  If examples must be made, just ask...but let's discuss first! :D

(P.S. I posted this in the Hardware part of the forum for a reason...)

The Legend of Zelda is in the works for the Wii U. Beyond that, we know very little. But Miyamoto has said that he wants to personally handle the development of the game, suggesting that he must have pretty big ideas about where he wants to take the game. But what I like about this statement the most is that it shows Nintendo is already honing in on what they're doing with their franchises for the new system. Let's hope we can see the fruits of their labour not too far into the next year.
