Has any console ever made a big comeback from a bad launch?

Snes but only because it was a perfect red ocean competition.
In certain sense PS3 is the Snes while Xbox360 is the Genesis however during the 16bit there wasn't a disruptive system like the Wii also PS3/360 have overshotting the market.

 

 

The SNES didn't have a bad start.  It actually had a very good start--it's just that it came out 2 years after it's main competition, the Genesis/Mega Drive.  The only thing is that Sega had managed to snatch up a lot of the buyers befroe the SNES came out.  At that time, Sega's headstart was a major factor in their success. 

Unfortunately, it rather led them to believe that's what they needed to do over the next two generations, and it backfired terribly with the Saturn.

The SNES broke from the starting line at a pretty good clip.

You are right , I dind't read carefully the OP. 

Basically the asnwer is: the vg industry is a momentum based one.
