SSB looks like it helped to sell at most 1 mill units, but other than that it's just guess work saying if people past that date bought it as the sales prior and post are almost identical.
Bluray is in no way a failure. Fact. Claiming it's a failure in any way when it's sold over a billion discs is lunacy. Your language isn't appropriate for describing products. 20m consoles would be a failure if that is not a relevant amount of the market. If the other consoles sell 100m each, then having a market share of under 10% is a failure. Obviously this is all relevant to whole console sales.
How Sony is doing overall is not what this topic is about.
All of this shows you haven't the slightest clue when it comes to discussing buisness. The fact you used the black and white fallacy shows this, and deeming them "3rd place THEY LOOSE!" is rediculous as they have almost sold the same amount as the 360 and almost have a 3rd of the market in a market of 3 consoles...Oh and was released a year later.
The N64 and GC were saved?? Their sales were really, really low. Who considers them to be successful?? Define "save".
CoD has shown that 3rd party suppport is potentially more important than exclusives. Also they look to be offering technically a LOT more than the WIi U which should help sell consoles on the promise of 1080p improved graphics.
Baised? Please. Come back when you know how to analyse stats and correctly assess buisness without resorting to fallacies or ambigious reasoning.

Lol, going by your own logic bluray is a failure. Funny how you mention low market share. You mention something being a failure if its competitors have sold way more, well that applies to Bluray as well lol. Pretty sure DVD sells make that "1 billion disc sold" look puny. Of course you conveniently ignored this. I have a better question, who says the PS3 has been successful? Its profits are pretty low. Extra hardware power didn't help Wii vs. PS3, DS vs. PSP, or 3DS vs. Vita.

How is bluray a failure by my logic? Bluray sales are increasing, not decreasing, as is it's market share. If you don't understand business analysis please don't join in this conversation.
The Wii wasn't aimed at the same market as the PS3 (look at the volume of core cames), and the DS has a much stronger game line-up. Why would anyone buy a Wii U when it offers generally the same games as the much cheaper xbox 360? This is one reason the sales are so low and one reason why I doubt sales will ever pick up significantly. Even with Nintendo exclusives, core gamers will choose games that look better than the previous gen over ones that do not as that is the main driving force behind each generation of core consoles.
