Wii U Initial Sales Better Than PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360?

It's starting to trend behind the PS3 in the US anyway.

The PS3 sold 124k or so its first February (Feb 2007), the Wii U did 66k, so PS3 was almost double the Wii U for the corresponding month, which is pretty sad when you consider the PS3 was $500/$600 at that time with no games either.

Not to mention the PS3 had to deal with the way cheaper and super hyped Wii launching right along side with it, the 360 competing directly $200 cheaper with Gears of War, and last gen consoles. Wii U only has to compete with last gen consoles, and it's already selling at less than half the rate month to month even though the industry has grown since then.

Who cares? What you're trying to do is justify the PS3 sales by saying its problems. Why then would the Wii U's sales not be justified by its problems? Huge drought of games since launch, most games are late ports, only a few first party titles, minimal storage, hard to sell gimmick, not a huge graphical leap, more expensive than any other system, and yet the Wii U has sold 2.7 million in four months. That's impressive.
