Does it make sense to call the WiiU a failure at this point in time?

Isn't a failure something that is, in fact, failing?

No, a failure is something that failed, period.

If you came about after the first month of the U and saw that sales were horrible, would you say it was a failure? You might say it is failing but you wouldn't call it a failure. After 8 months, no poignant game release and a high pricepoint, it's just as silly now as it was after the first month.

Failure: is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.

 

The Wii U is a failure for now. It doesn't mean that it'll always be a failure, but for now it is a failure.
