Their relative sales are completely beside the point.

The point is, PS3 sales picked up after a slow start. The same will be true of Wii U.


Ps3 was up YoY 22% in 08 from 07 with lots more stuff going for it than Wii U. You will see that what you are banking on will help the wii u' sales... but not much more than what nintendo expects.

And for shits and giggles, Wii U's forcast end March 2015 - 9.77m

Ps3 end of 2009 - 22.91m

Obviously it's not going to suddenly turn into the Wii and sell nine figures lifetime, but it's best sales are ahead of it; to date its been too expensive for casual buyers or as a secondary console, and has lacked the system selling hardware. Another price cut before the holidays and Mario Kart + Smash Bros will fix that. In the ballpark of 20m isn't out of the question if they play their cards right.
