The PS3 was actually doing numbers the Wii U could only dream of at comparable points in their life cycle ... case in point:
PS3 (April 2008): 183k NPD sales
Wii U (April 2014): Approx. 60k NPD sales
This is even before the PS3 Slim.
Generally speaking to be honest I don't think there's ever been a console in the history of gaming that's come back strong from sales this low 17-18 months into the life cycle. That's waaaaaaay too late in the game.
The PS3 also had the benefit of being one of the cheaper Blu-Ray players on the market for a time (which could also update its firmware), technically being relatively cutting edge for a while, and having 100% third party backing ... none of which the Wii U has going for it.

So buy saying that, you're saying the Wii U won't be a sucessful console?

Hate to break it to you, but yeah, that's pretty much a forgone conclusion at this point. It will take a minor miracle to hit 20 million at this rate, which is an extremely mediocre LTD for a home console.
