Hmmm, it still could have been better.

Well the console certainly could be better. Especially the long load times.

Why does it say Nintendo and not specifically Wii U consoles?
Is that just the op or is Nintendo trying to pull trickery?
If only she linked the source instead of typing it.
If only she gave more detail in her brand new thread. :'(

I mean, sure, but apparently Microsoft and Sony can't do better.

That's not really a fair comparison considering the PS3 cost $600 at launch and the Wii U is less then half that price. Not to mention it wasn't the first of that generation's console having been beaten to market by the Xbox 360. The Wii U is not only cheaper but the first of the next generation.

940+340 = 1280 => 360 could have sold 1.28 million units if it had the same success in Japan at launch, which is never would have.

The popularity of a console platform and the cost are two different things. The Playstation brand is very popular around the world but the PS3 didn't sell well initially due to its retail cost.

And it's lack of games due to its inferior technology.The popularity of a console platform and the cost are two different things. The Playstation brand is very popular around the world but the PS3 didn't sell well initially due to its retail cost.

Ah, but if you go to the source, it says Nintendo sold 1.8 Wii U's.

Not bad, not bad at all. Wonder how much of that is people sick of the past generation (360/Wii/PS3) and so they bought the Wii U to move into the new generation.

What are you talking about. The PS3 neither has a lack of games nor inferior technology.

^^^ This ^^^ PS3 got off to a slow start due to high demand and high price but didn't have enough units on the shelves. And PS3 started off just like every other console with mostly ports and few exclusives. HOWEVER PS3 has LOTS of great exclusives these days and ports on it are usually of good quality with some exceptions.

i dont think its really fair too judge the launches as the wii has a lot of multi platform games available too it which the other two did not so its a null and void point too me plus its long term support that really matters.
wii u premium, new super mario bros u, darksiders 2, call of duty black ops 2, zombiu
blue 3ds xl, resident evil revelations, zelda ocarina of time

Better than the first 4 weeks of the Xbox 360 and PS3 COMBINED! 270 thousand less than the Wii in its first 4 weeks.
What do you guys think about this? One thing that pops out to me is that the reason all those Wii Us are still on shelves are because of improved supply lines (Like Reggie said). Not because of lack of sales.
