Nope, WiiU launched better than PS3 even if you include the european launch for PS3. WiiU sells less on a weekly base now, even if you don't include europe for PS3. WiiU had 2 million 5 weeks after launch. PS3 had 687K. In the 5 weeks after european launch it made 1.1 million WORLDWIDE (not only EU). Together that makes less than 1.8 million. So WiiU launched better, even including european launch. Looking at thefirst years weekly sales WiiU is trending below PS3 even before european launch. So looking at the real numbers help avoids such wrong statements. (The conclusion that WiiU is doing worse than PS3 is true because of the second part, not because of the later european launch.)
