Wii U sales trend may be just as expected if we look at Nintendo's home console sales.

N64 and GCN was failure only because Nintendo was stupid enough to use cartridge/mini-dvds. Maybe in some alternative reality N64 sold over 50mil units.

And for the poll: I voted yes, because the real trend is how dumb Nintendo is with their home console

and because they are like 10x more indestructable comapred to PS1 and PS2. So many people did not beed to buy 2nd-5th consoles in that gen to enjoy their games.
