PS: and I honestly hope that you don't think I play fucking Wii Music

Yes, but then it kicked off reasonably well. Not original DS numbers, but it's still selling ok. The Vita, next to it, is abysmal.

Hynad, I think he's pointing out that it took a while for the 3DS to pick up sales, something in the range of 6-8 months, if I recall. We're just past 2 months since the Wii U launch, so it has potential to pick up and catch on, like the 3DS did.

I think the comparison from PS2 to PS3 is a bit invalid, in the sense that Sony got to pompous and thought a pricetag of $500+ was acceptable. Sony gave a big FU to their fanbase doing that, whereas Nintendo's main flaw was rushing to market with a few launchtime bugs and a light launch lineup.
