Reality check:

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Boy

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.

I said many times that current sales are irrelevant for predictions. if wii u still sells badly after the big games come, then you would have a point. untill then it's a pointless "argument".

?? BS. Wii-u has gotten off too a terrible start, that is important, you can't just brush that aside because you don't like it. We are talking worst then vita bad.  It is not irrelevant. All signs also point to continued struggles with x1 and Ps4 just months away.

it is irrelevant, just like 3ds bad sales were irrelevant to determine it's future. If both had games and were selling bad, then the numbers wouldn't be irrelevant.

edit: what signs? wii u's pricecut and killer lineup of exclusives and multis alike?
