To compare Wii U launch to those launches is something which makes me smile. "Look it did better than 360&ps3" is quite amusing as we do know that they had bad launches and managed to turn around, mostly because of the plethora of games those consoles had. Wii U is not going to turn around, I believe that it will follow Wii curve quite closely, except it will be a shorter one. I see the sales landing between GC and N64.

So...
Let me get this straight.
PS360 had a bad launch and turned around. So, the WiiU is going to fail because it had a good launch?
Logic.

Wii U did not have a good launch, it had worse launch than its predecessor. If you use the curve from wii sales, you will see where Wii U sales are likely to be. I know I should not state this again, but why not. PS360 had all the third party support, which is something Wii U does not have.
When Wii with the magical sales it had did not get the 3rd party support later, why do you think Wii U would get it?

I'm not expecting it to match Wii numbers, but the Wii proved Nintendo apparently didn't need 3rd party support anyway. So no 3rd party support =/= low sales. Personally I think support will be better because the consoles are going to be in the same ballpark power/feature-wise.
That said, WiiU only had a bad launch in comparison to it's direct predecessor. In comparison with all other consoles ever, it had a good launch.
