As it should be selling more than its predecessor, it is doing bad at the moment and in following weeks it will be doing even worse.

How many consoles have launched in November and sold more than 2 million units before years end?

From my understanding, I think the only system to have sold more systems at launch than the Wii U is the Wii ...

So which console is the predecessor of wii u? It is the console to make comparisons. What is it?

I disagree ...

While I think there is some value in comparing sales generation-over-generation to argue whether a system was a success or not, a system's sales are strong or weak regardless of how their previous generation system sold.

The PS-Vita is selling poorly because it is selling at a rate of less than 5 million units per year, not because it is selling at half the rate of the PSP. The XBox 360's sales in Japan are poor because it will (likely) have sold less than 2 million units after being on the market for 8+ years, even though the XBox 360 sold far more units in Japan than the XBox did.
