I have no issue with Sony and Microsoft touting their launch sales. Nintendo sure did let everyone know how well the Wii U did at launch. Consoles sell really well at launch. Even the Vita was hot for the better part of 5 - 6 months. Its also true that every console ever, even the DS and PS2, saw dips in their momentum at times, and the real test is how things, primarily new games, price drops, and remodels, effect sales. Both DS and PS2 had lost alot of steam but once the DS Lite and Slim PS2 came out, sales when through the freaking roof. This coupled with a ton of good games and cheaper prices on the older models. The 1st Wii was innovative and had the games, almost right away. 360 needed to add the Kinect, because the core gamer base is too small. PS3 needed a price drop,remodel, and games. My point is that I agree with it being a hollow number, due to alot of future unknown factors, but at the same time launches are built on hype and marketing, and they both did a great job.
