Just if a console loses doesn't mean it failed

The Wii u is selling more (by a lot) than the one right now. The Wii u is also a good amount ahead of the one.

True, except your talking about a week in which the Wii U has it's first full week with it's biggest release more than likely of this generation while the current week up on the front page is counting the week before a permanent 20% percent discount off the price of the console, and even then it's <50K.

Actually I'm talking about two weeks now. And for both of consoles, they both had ONE game that came out each that was massive. WD didn't move much on xboxone, not nearly as much as it did on ps4 and not nearly as much as MK8 moved wii u's. It wasn't like the xboxone didn't have anything, it just ended up not doing nearly as well as the thing wii U had (mk8).

There is less than a 2 million difference right now with the Wii U in the lead.  And that's with a year headstart for the Wii U.  Nintendo has also had many first party titles (2 Mario titles plus a DLC retail title, Pikmin, W101, MK8, DK, a LOZ port, at least 3 Wii brand games), as well as a price cut and numerous bundles and other free games incentives and by comparison prior to this price cut for the ONE, they've had Titanfall and the Titanfall bundle as the only noteworthy release.  Not to mention the ONE being $200 more.  

And while it's fine to celebrate the last 2 weeks with Nintendo taking second, that wasn't the case at all for most of the weeks since the ONE was released.  It sold better than a console with a year head start, that was $200 cheaper, and has not received much software support.  I think it's damn good on the part of the ONE that it's managed with that many handicaps.  Now with the pricedrop, it's going to erase any difference that MK8 made on it.  

MS made the mistake of announcing a price cut weeks in advance, of course that will hurt sales for the weeks leading up to it.  

Also WD is not to the ONE as MK8 is to Wii U.  WD is an unproven new franchise and the other is one of the top Nintendo franchises.
