1. PS3 & 360 had plenty of weeks in there first year that were 80k or under. 2. PS1 and NES likely did as well, both of them were slow starters.

1. And those were never considered "decent."  They were always horrendous and it doesn't change for the Wii U... 80k is plain bad...

2. Not sure about the NES... but please... you do know why it was a "slow" starter right? It launched in the US and Europe a year after Japan... After that it never looked back. If Wii U was only out in Japan then yes, 80k would be phenomenal... but thats not the case

NES had a slow start Iin US and never really caught on in Europe. Ill try finding the link but if I remember correctly, NES only sold like 2m in USA in 1986 which was its first full year on the market.
