It's not really the same. Xbox to 360 was 4 years. Wii U to NX is 4.5 years (roughly).

The Xbox had great support in its fourth year. It had even much much better support in its fifth year (after the launch of the 360) than the Wii U in its fourth year:

Measuring support in years never made sense to me. Wii U gets a few games a quarter. Thats in no way comparable to the level of support the PS4 and One get over the same period of time.

Its like comparing the support of the PS2 to the Support of the AES. It just seeks to normalize the weaker offering.

exactly lol

criticism is way more ruthless and in abundance for Nintendo/NX than it ever was for the xbox

I would doubt that most people here on vgchartz are old enough to really remember what was going on back in 2005. The news that MS was dropping the Xbox already was shocking to many Xbox owners at that time. It was not as big of deal comparitively, because MS was a newcomer still. The internet was around, but the massive amount of websites and forums today give people a lot more visible place to show their displeasure. That's why it would "seem" that the WiiU is getting more grief.

I'm not old enought, i only had 5 years old when Xbox 360 launched, and Internet was something niche in my country until 2008-2010.
