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

Facepalm indeed. Let's consider that a shaking of the hands, because this is going nowhere.

The woman failed at being an actor, the U did not fail at being a console. It failed its launch, sure, much like an actor can fail their first years. But to fail as an actor altogether is a little much.

Think what you will, but if this far usage of failure as all the sources I've provided have shown that your interpretation of the definitions is false, you will be facepalming for quite a longtime with a big hand that's called reality.

No no no no no.

The example was about reaching goals. The proof for this is that it was attached to the definition that was about reaching goals. The woman never hit the career goal she set herself, though she still has a career. The Wii U has never hit a sales goal Nintendo set for it, though it is still selling.

If youre okay to call the woman a failure because she didnt meet her career goal, then its more than okay to call the Wii U a failure because it hasnt reached 1 single sales goal.

Sorry to butt into ur convo but id have to agree with dolphin. Her goal was to be an actress for the rest of her life and she failed. Wii U yes failed to sell 5.5 million in 4 months but its unknown whether it will reach its lifetime goals.
