Wii U sales aren't that 'doomed' bad.

Whenever I see such posts I just wonder - what happened to 2007-like sales? Financial crisis? Or general boredom with gaming?
I wasn't here on 2007 so I can't tell.

http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/39110/Global/

DS	380,526	(+24%)	36,093,151
Wii	251,288	(+2%)	4,007,149
PSP	162,208	(-4%)	20,351,200
X360	113,045	(-3%)	8,480,456
PS3	74,220	(-7%)	1,632,136

Refrasing: WiiU is doing close to 1/3 360 was doing at a similar time frame and 1/2 PS3´s (a machine that costed 2x que WiiU current price )

If you look at those number you can see that the generational difference in home consoles isn't that big actually.

January 27th, 2007: Wii+360+PS3= 14mil consoles

January 26th, 2014: Wii U+X1+PS4= a little less then 14mil consoles

Still, neither 3DS today or PS4 can even dream of close to 400.000 sales weekly.
What I mean is - total weekly sales of January 2014 - roughly 600.000 consoles

Total January 2007 - close to 1 million.
