All I'm saying is that I find it annoying it is when "journalist" say the Wii U is doing terrible, when the PS3 was doing much financially worse in 2007 than the Wii U is right now. They always act like Wii U will never have a turn around, yet when PS3 was a year old, they said Sony was doomed because of the PS3. 6 years later the PS3 has 80 million units sold and they almost never mention that the PS3 was doing bad. |
Sony has more than ten times the assets of Nintendo, thus they were able to absorb a far bigger loss than Nintendo will ever be able to. Additionally, the PS3 sold about 8 million units in 2007 while the WiiU will struggle to sell 3 million this year. The WiiU is selling so badly that it may never gain traction in the market, much in the same way as the Vita. The WiiU is not in the same position as the PS3 circa 2007 and that's the reason why gaming journalists aren't making any such comparisons. I don't expect the WiiU to sell a third as many units as its predecessor.
