Eh. I think that the sheer fact it was abandoned early works against that argument. Look at the generation leaders before it all the way back to NES and how long they lasted on the market. Look at how long they were relevant for.
Its all fine and dandy breaking records for 3/4 Years, but if you cant maintain reasonable sales for the next 3/4 then youre gonna have a bad time.
When PS3 released it faced a similar situation to Wii U, the main difference being that while PS3 was tanking the PS2 was still selling plenty of units. The PS2 lasted until the PS3 started "dying". The Wii family doesnt have that luxury. While Wii U is tanking, the Wii is on deaths doorstep.
