Reality check:

Virtual boy sales from July - Dec 95 = 350,000 (Jp/NA only) or 70,000/mth

WiiU sales from Jan - June '13 = 550,000 (all markets) or 92,000/mth

You take Europe and the rest of the world out of that equation and it's selling Virtual Boy numbers.  In fact, for the last four month worse than Virtual Boy dispite being available in far more regions.

Id say dont waste your time but if you dont care then go for it. However, i warn you that you are talking to someone who thinks nintendo is profiting on wii u sales already and will drop the price alongside a flagstaff title and it will increase the sales to unprecedented levels of 700% and maintain those sales through its lifespan

You are right of course.  And I don't know why I let Zero999 get under my skin.   I kinda regret posting that now.  I feel like I just kicked my best friend (that is to say Nintendo and the many fine Nintendo fans on this site) in the balls with that sales comparison.   Maybe it's true but no one wants to hear it.
