The economy may be slightly worse, but the size of the previous fanbase is absolutely relevant. 24m - 100m no comparison. Wii U launch should be 4x as big as Xbox 360, and it's merely twice.

By your logic the Wii had no chance of selling more than 21 million units.

 

Huh? I said the launch. Not lifetime sales. 

My logic would dictate that Wii launch and Xbox 360 launch (priced comparably) should be similar based upon size of fanbase from previous generation. 

 

My point is the fanbase obviously grew.   Are you telling me a fanbase can't grow during a launch?    Especially when a launch sales are just a minute fraction of the lifetime sales of the preceding console?
