Not that I disagree that Wii U's sales are pathetic, but that article is really grasping. When it comes to making February's improvement seem worse, they point out that Jan sales were higher than reported. When they're making comparisons to other consoles, though, they conveniently use these inaccurate numbers. At least be consistent.

Using February numbers, which may still be inaccurate for the same reason as January, we get 16k/week in 4 months. Oh, look at that; it's pretty comparable to the PS3. Worse, definitely. And you'd have to be blind to not think that the Wii U is in serious trouble. But no need to sensationalize it.

It's one of the worst launches ever, but it's hardly bad enough to be in a completely different league from recent bad launches. Definitely gonna be hard for Nintendo to get through this, but it wouldn't be unprecedented for Wii U to recover.
