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

outliers get thrown out ofstatistics all the time. thats normal and really people who want to point to wii you are grasping

an exception to the norm is not useful if its not reproducable.

Thus regardless of premeditation or not, it was luck that the market responded favorably to the Wii.

Ultimately, the winner is always lucky because the market is wild.

1/5 of Nintendo's consoles have sold 80 million or more.

1/2 of Xbox's consoles have sold 80 million or more.

3/3 of PlayStation's consoles have sold 80 million or more.

And unless the Wii U starts massively trending above the Wii, anyone who tries to use it as evidence isn't using sound logic.

The Wii U did the former, the PS4 did the latter.
