Almost as badly as Microsoft did back in 2006.

Wii U is actually behind the Xbox 360 in a comparable timeframe from launch:

Xbox 360: 3,617,529 units sold by June 24th 2006

Wii U: 3,191,581 units sold by June 22nd 2013

I'm goving Nintendo a bit of a break because Microsoft had better support from 3rd parties in the first half of 2006 (Fight Night, Burnout, Tom Clancy, Battlefield, Tomb Raider, Hitman, etc).
