The 360 did horrible during the second christmas and I believe the PS3 as well. The WiiU is not doing worst than the 360 during its first year.

Actually, the 360 sold about 6.7-6.8 (twice or more over what the Wii U will likely do) million in its first full calendar year and sold close to 3 million in its second holiday after both the record breaking Wii and the PS3 had released.

The PS3 sold almost 8 million first full year with a staggered launch and roughly 3.5 million in its second holiday season, or roughly 200-500k more than the Wii U's likely numbers for the whole CY 2013.

It's pretty damn bad, I think a lot of people don't realize just how bad. And nothing in your post it remotely close to being true.

Considering this is a thread about japan sales im pretty sure thats what hes talking about, ur using worldwide sales

Well, that's even worse if that's the case. Using the 360 in Japan as a metric to measure success is... strange.

Besides; the PS3 sold about 1.3 million in Japan in the first full calendar year even though it had competition, from the Wii no less, the Wii U is competing with 7-8 year old consoles and only recently started beating them. There's really no way to spin this into a great achievement.

I wasnt disagreeing with u, just pointing he was talking about Japan

And ur right that PS3 in 2007 sold higher than Wii U will in 2013 but Wii U is having a better holiday. Here are the first two weeks of December in any given year for PS3.

2007-40k & 60k

2008-30k each

2009-55k & 75k

2010-40k & 50k

2011-45k & 65k

2012-35k & 45k

2013-25k each

In comparison Wii U has done 50k and 75k in the first two weeks of december this year which beats PS3 in every year except 2009. Whether or not it continues that momentum going into next year remains to be seen but one thing is certain its lineup in the first half of 2014 is much better than it was this year. Wii Fit U retail, DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8 and maybe Hyrule Warriors should ensure it doesnt fall off a cliff again.
