All you've done here is show that the launch period means absolutely nothing for the long-term success of a system. Those launches were 12 years ago now; the market and the competition has changed somewhat dramatically since then. If anything, your comparison is less than valid.

Let's remind us what happened in 2001:

-Wikipedia launches
-Windows XP launches
-Original iPod launches
-Sky unveil their set-top box
-YouTube concept introduced

That was a long time ago, you know. We can't tell anything from the WiiU launch, because it means nothing in terms of long-term success. Why oh why we need so many people to make threads on this (I pointed this out in the NPD thread I believe) baffles me.

launches give an indication if the system is in demand or not, we know for certian, wii, 360 and ps2 would out sold the gamecaube and xbox launches if they had been in stock, what's the wii u excuse, the price is very good for a new system and has it's biggest gaming franchise is available at launch, you can spin it all you want, this yea's sales in america and in europe will prove my point.
