"All consoles do have rocky launches"
No they fucking don't and that graph proves it. The 3DS is a handheld, not a console, so it's a different market.

If you have redefined the meaning of "rocky launch" to the point that the PS3's does not fit your definition, you have done something wrong.
You're cherrypicking definitions and numbers to tell yourself that the Wii U's launch was worse than the PS3's. Oh, it took less time to reach a weekly low point lower than the PS3's. That's nice. It doesn't change the fact that the Wii U has sold more consoles LTD than the PS3 had in the same period. You know, how normal people measure launch sales: with actual cumulative sales, not with weekly averages of an arbitrary mid-launch-period set of weeks.
Wii U LTD in the US after 15 weeks: ~1,063,000
PS3 LTD in the US after 15 weeks: 975,622
I know those first two weeks the PS3 had are troublesome for some people. Let's give it 17, then: 1,028,680
Not to mention Japan, since you're focusing solely on NA here. *Gee, I wonder why that could be...*
Wii U LTD in Japan after 13 weeks: 806,691
PS3 LTD in Japan after 13 weeks: 637,595
