Why does Wii U need saving? It's sold about 2.5 million units in six weeks. That's more than PS3 and Xbox 360 sold in the first six weeks, and those systems crossed 70 million.

It's been six weeks, that's it. Monster Hunter hasn't launched. Mario Kart hasn't launched. Smash Bros. hasn't launched. Wii Sports hasn't launched. Donkey Kong, Metroid, Animal Crossing, and many others haven't launched.

I don't understand why so many think it's in danger of flopping.

PS3/360 sold so much because they have amazing 3rd party support. Wii U doesn't.

BTW, Monster Hunter already launched in Japan where it is actually releavnt.

Wii U has been out for less than two months. Wii U has been out for less than two months. Maybe if I repeat it enough, it will become true. That's certainly the case with "Wii U is bombing." If you repeat a lie often enough, apparently it becomes the truth.

Has anyone ever considered that Wii U is selling worse than Xbox and PS3 not because Wii U stinks, but because Xbox and PS3 are so damn good? That they're STILL getting AAA titles, still relevant, still less expensive, and still double as multimedia platforms and, at least for PS3, a Blu-ray player?

Almost all consoles get off to slow starts. The Wii U is actually doing better than many others.
