You expect us to judge the console's first year... halfway through it?

lol

fair enough. Ok then how has Nintendo been doing with their head start in general then?

That's better. They got off to a good start but they've been doing awfully since January.

Context is important, though. With hardly any significant releases in the past 6 months, the Wii U has still sold nearly a million consoles year-to-date, while it has at least one major release lined up for each of the remaining six months of the year.

And yet, whether it winds up with a head start of 4 million sales or of 14, it hardly matters until we see how well the PS4 and Xbone sell at launch.

I'm very interested to see how well sales start to pick up once games are actually being released.
