I think it is because Nintendo is just the first on the market. If you look at the 360 launch, it wasn't super impressive (about 5 million before the next console launched) but it still managed to give the 360 the edge to keep it over the 360 up until this point.


The logistics behind this boggle the mind!

 

I know you meant the PS3. I would counter that the PS3 had a horrifically bad start, and that the Wii breezed right by the 360 in no time at all. More to the point, I'd argue that the Wii U launch is just outright botched: being first or last to release has no effect on that.

Sorry, feeling a bit sick today so I apparently have lost my ability to type. haha.

The Wii was able to easily glide by because it was set up to win. I see where you're coming from but I feel that if the 360 didn't have the head start, the PS3 could have easily outsold it. Many people bought a 360 because their friends already owned one. Of course then again, you could chalk it up to a botched release for the PS3.


Wii was set up to win? That's not what i heard back in 2006.
