The PS3 and the Wii U, two consoles which faced a lot of struggles after their launch. We know that the:

-PS3 launched after the highly successful PS2 causing Sony to become arrogant and lose their way. The Wii U also came after Wii's exceptional sales.

-PS3's launched at a ridiculously high price. A lot of people believe Wii U is overpriced still now.

-PS3 launched with not a lot number of major first party titles. Wii U also had the same issue of not having enough must have games at launch from Nintendo.

-PS3 received one crap 3rd party port after another, most of which ran better on their competitor's console, leading a lot of people to believe the 360 was the better choice to play 3rd party games. Nintendo faced similar issues with 3rd parties where they got lesser ports and eventually those dried up as well.

Now despite all of the issues the PS3 had, and we know there were many, Sony still somehow managed to turn the PS3 around, making it sell over 80M lifetime and landing in 2nd place overall. The Wii U on the other hand isn't recovering at all, and doesn't look like it ever will, probably going down as Nintendo's worst selling home console.

Why is this? What did Sony do to turn the PS3 around that Nintendo isn't doing with the Wii U?
