Some good points here. The first paragraph is spot on. I own a Wii U, but I'm really only interested in the exclusive games: New Super Mario Bros. U, ZombiU, Nintendo Land, Scribblenauts Unlimited, etc. Although Ninja Gaiden and Black Ops 2 intrigue me, because of Wii U content and features.

Still, most consoles get off to slow starts, and Wii U is no exception. I think Nintendo must be happy with its hardware portfolio, even if Wii U sales are lower than Wii in its first months. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Nintendo was moving around 2 million units combined (Wii, Wii U, 3DS, and DS) per month in November and December. That's a really nice figure.

Also, "cheap and greedy" is a low blow :P

that's not true at all, the reason they sometimes start off slow is cause they have a shortage of supply, except for the ps3 because of the price, most consoles that succeed, like the wii, 360, ps2 did great numbers january, feb in the us.

It is true. Most consoles start slowly. There are exceptions to that rule, like Wii, but it is the rule.

wii and ps2 sold great from the get go, it was only a supply issue holding it back, 360 aways put up decent numbers, the only system that started off slow and succeeded is ps3 cause of the 599$, so please.

I really don't want to belabor this point and derail the thread. Consoles, as you know, did not enter the world in 2000.

Most consoles start slowly. You've only cherry picked a few early success stories. There are a few dozen video game consoles, most of which got off to a slow start.

lol sure most consoles start off slowly and usually don't sale more then 30 million  , where are the numbers to prove your theory cause i can't find any, we do know the first playsation was selling well enough for sega to call it quits after a year on the market with the saturn.
