Oh, and you're wrong. SW always increases HW. This has been proven over and over again. I don't know why you are trying to dis-prove this utter fact. (Plus, you're putting a lot of faith into some of those exclusives. I wouldn't do that.)

when did Wii software ever bring the console back to launch level sales?

Nintendo DS: It blew away launch sales about, oh, 10-months after a lukewarm launch, and pretty much demolished them for years after that.

Nintendo 3DS: Good-ish launch, collapsed, and then rocketed upwards during its first holiday.

Next invalid arugment...

Sales in the UK spiked 125% last week for U.

Why?

Games came out that peole wanted to play. (The price cut had virtualy no effect, which preceded it by a few weeks.)

You clearly have no idea what it is you're talking about and are more interested in riling people up--if the U gets momentum, it'll be fine, just like the 3DS and DS.

(Note: you get momentum by having sufficient software stacked back-to-back-toback, e.g. 3DS and Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3DLand (plus Monster Hunter if you count Japan--this is *exactly* why the VIta is failing. It cannot get enough momentum to  keep sustained interest up.)
