If the console is good it will work. The 360 was a great console so the head start really helped it.
Wii U and Dreamcast not so much so they flopped.
Just shows you though, PS1, PS2, PS3 and now PS4 all sold great no matter when they released. The fact the PS3 will sell 95M + is something else considering everything went against it. Just shows you what the PS4 will do now that it's gotten everything right. |
Nobody would put the wiiu in the with dreamcast. Dreamcast put Sega out of business once and for all as a hardware company wheras the wiiu will make Nintendo money is allowing them to rebuild their cred after a lot of Nintendo fans moved away from the wii the previous gen and are coming back home.

we're talking about console sales not profit for the company.
and Wii U is coming off a 100M seller where as the Sega console wasn't. Wii U is the biggest flop I've ever seen compared to its predecessor.

I think there's limited relevance in comparing it to it's predecessor since everyone knows the casual audience was gone to apple. Had it not been for such a huge market change outside of Nintendo's control i think expectations for the wiiu would have been far greater in terms of sales. When the wiiu ends up around 30 million units sold I don't think it will be compared at all to the dreamcast. It will be more compared to the N64 or gamecube.
