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.

You can disagree as much as your heart desires, but that does not change the fact that the success of a product is measured against its predecessor.
offtopic rant: why on earth I decided to take just an android tablet with me for vacation. This sucks.. chrome at least lets you edit the post, awesome...

What a bizarre way of looking at things, I would be interested to know what your grades were like in school after all a D- average is an amazing acomplishment if your previous year's average was a F; and an A- average is an amazing failure if in the previous year you had an A average.
I wonder if you will use a similar way to judge whether a system is powerful, and if the Wii U has a bigger relative increase in processing power than the PS4 or XBox 720 is whether you will call out those systems for not being powerful enough.
