Why do you think the Wii U will fail, when the 3DS came out of a similar horrible slump and even the Vita has stuck in the fight?

The Wii U isn't going to fail, but the Wii U is doing very bad. When the 3DS came out, it was selling worse than the two HD consoles, but it sold no less than 64,000 a week. The Wii U has sold below 40,000 multiple weeks in a row. That's the difference. 60,000 one week is fairly good considering that's as low as it got. 24,000 in one week is very bad.
