I have already proofed with sales-data, that the launch of the WiiU was better of the launch of the PS3 even considering the later european launch: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5219869

I'm at a loss for words. These alignment graphs have to die as far as "evidence" goes, its been shown time and time again that it just doesn't work that way, the same graphs would tell us that the Wii has outsold the PS2 by now or that the 360 has a ten million lead globally on the PS3, or that the PS3 would have 100 million sold units by now etc. This is plain silly. The Wii U had a good launch and a truly terrible new years and onwards, there really is absolutely no way of getting around that fact with graphcs and half-assed comparisons. |
I agree with you, that despite the good initial sales the WiiU is in a desperate situation now, and I also already posted data for this in the thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5219907
