It's not doing well....it's being outsold by much older consoles and developers aren't developing for it....Other then the die hard Nintendo fans and console collectors out there, I can't see it having a bright future.

So then I guess you thought the launch of PS360 sucked even more? You know.... since Wii U is outselling them both combined??

Why compare the Wii U's launch to what happend 6 years ago when the economy was very different? The Wii U also is directly competing against the 360 and PS3 - the PS3 and 360 where not directly competiting against the PS2. The Wii U is being outsold by it's 6-7 year old rivals, showing that people are more interested in the old then the new right now. As we are approaching the holiday season, that is even more concerning.

You are right that the economy is very much different, as I said in a post before - which you disregarded. The economy is much, much worse now than in 2006-2007 - at least in Europe. So is it really strange that people like the cheaper option? You really do like to spin things as much as possible, don't you? Let's see how the Wii U is doing next x-mas, and how it compares to PS720.
