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

The DS didn't do all that great the first year. But the sales picked up a lot after the second holiday season. Much moreso than the PS3 has.

 

 Now, I'm probably going to be flamed to shit for being wrong here, as I wasn't into video game stats and such at this time. But am I correct in saying that the PSP had a better launch experience than the DS, like, for the first couple of months?

comparative to now, they were much closer in weekly sales.... but the DS did start faster than PSP.

Launches are not a good indication of a system's success. The PSP had a better launch than the DS. The DS is in the lead now. The Dreamcast had a great launch, while the PS2 had almost no games in Japan (The Matrix DVD was the best seller), and had a crippling shortage in the US launch.

It's the first 18 months that give

That goes for you too.... PSP did not launch better than the DS.

 

I didn't just mean raw numbers. Games count too, and the PSP was praised for its launch lineup.
