the wiiu didn't have a good launch, when you factor it never sold out, while almost every othere console you compare its always sell out, it launched with a 2d mario which is bigger thyen anything microsoft and sony launched with, yet the ps4 and xbone, are already catching up to wiiu sales for the whole year in 24 hours, its not wiiu fault as i think its a much better system then the wii, but the wii left a bad taste for many gamers, third part support and hardware wise, thats why the wiiu is failing.

Wii U did sell out day one. It was very scarce and largely sold out all through holidays. Difference was, Nintendo had stock going to retail every couple days vs once a week. That constant flow made it easier to find one if you just called around.

MSony are still on the once a week rotation.

I have a thread to track all this in my sig.

uh they were never sold out, they were selling at a loss on ebay within a week, i remember people posting pics of 100 wiiu stacked  in best buy, come on now, let keep it honest. they were in stock in most places, nintendo anticapted a huge launch and had many consoles on deck, yet they old sold 400,00 its first month
