I may be mistaken, but is it really fair to compare sales of the N64, GC, Wii, and Wii U? I just feel like it's unfair to compare sales from the mid to late 1990s to the early to mid 2010s. I believe console sales should be compared to their immediate competition, and not past generations.

Even if we were to do that. It doesnt make Wii U look better. It looks just as bad if not worse

You're totally right, but I think that is a more interesting discussion worth having. I may be missing something here but I just don't see the point in comparing Wii U sales to N64 sales. I just feel like the two are completely unrelated.
