Wii U numbers are HORRIBLE. It is selling BELOW 6 and 7 year old consoles, and these numbers will only get lower the coming weeks.

That's completely normal for a new console at launch. We've been over this enough times. The Wii U is selling faster than the 360 or PS3 sold at launch... if its numbers are HORRIBLE, theirs were CATASTROPHIC. If the PS3 and 360 could go on to sell 70m+, then looking at these numbers, the Wii U can do the same or better.

80 million doesn't sound so HORRIBLE to me.

Wii U is a Nintendo console. It won't have the 3rd party games that PS3/360 had or PS4/720 will have in the future.
Yeah, it is normal for a new console to be outsold by older consoles, but there is also a danger that consumers still think Wii U is just an accessory for the Wii. Like someone said before, Wii U is competing with the Playstation and Xbox brands. The lower the Wii U sales, the less of an advantage this year headstart will be.
