Why can't we just admit that the Wii U is a failure and move on?  It can't even compete with the PS3, how the heck is it going to compete with PS4?  Answer me that.


The Wii U has sold up to 3.5 million as of march 16th.

The PS3 at this point had only sold what, maybe 2.4 or 2.6 million.

 

So please explain.

First of all you are wrong. Nintendo shipped 3mill. They didn't sell those yet. And after their financials they revised their estimate for the fiscal year from 5.5million shipped to 4million shipped because they realized there was too much stock on the shelves that didn't sell and they already didn't ship as much as they were expecting. They will also most likely miss the 4mil mark by a few hundred thousand too.

If you want to compare shipments at least compare shipoments to shipments and no shipments to sales. Ps3 has shipped 3.5mil in 2 financials quarters. Wii U will probably be similiar. However, Ps3 wasn't launched in Europe, it's strongest market, till the end of the second quarter.
