This isn't news to me and doesn't change the fact that calling something a failure is generally used as an all-around term, as I proved to Talal with his athlete example (unless you time-bound it or change the scope, ie launch was a failure).


I have looked up actual definitions of the word "Failure".

A lack of success. Falling short.

The Wii U is currently both of these. There has been very little to no success and it has fallen way, way short of the targets set for it. Nintendo can still turn things around, but as of right now the Wii U is a failure.
