WiiU - Good supply, fair price

Wii - Limited supply, affordable

PS3 - Good supply, $600)

X360 - Limited supply, expensive

These are factors that need to be looked at as well before considering the launch a success a failure or a success.

 

That is right, but it was the decision of Sony to launch at $600 and supply-constraints can also be avoided by producing a lot in before. That are all factors that play into the sales, but the sales in the end are the deciding factor if a launch was good or bad. If you apply your logic, you could say: Wii had no HD, that lowered sales, and PS3 had a Blu-Ray, without that extra value it would have sold even less.

You obviously don't understand, I'm saying price and supply are stuff we need to factor in when considering if a launch is successful or not.
This isn't the place to discuss whose fault it was to launch the PS3 at $600 or what features these consoles had....

What do you mean my logic? You're the one thats trying to make excuses for why some console sold what they sold, I'm not.

Another factor that we shoud look at is  what time of year these consoles launch.

My point here is, the numbers are the numbers. We could find many resons why the Wonderswan sold bad. But that all doesn't change the fact it did. We could find many reasons to explain, why the PS2 sold good. But it sold good, it was a success. So all I saying here, that the WiiU had a good launch. I don't say anything about the future, because I have no idea, how it will goes. I was wrong with my expectations for WiiU. It did much better than expected in US and Japan and much worse in europe. I expected it to go down from Wii levels more, but in all regions more or less the same. So what will happen with the sales in the future`? I have no idea. WiiU might sell horrible in February, or it might pick up momentum. So far the only thing I was saying is: the launch was pretty good.
