Success in terms of sales? Really? It barely made second place and it lost a lot of sales and market share PS2 had gained.

It made second place despite all the negativity,  bad press and year late launch,  so yes it's a success. 

Additionally the solid support in its later years while support for the wii had been dropped like a hot potato,  and support for the x360 became asthmatic,  aided the strong launch and early success of the ps4.

 

So when will you make a "Is the WiiU a failure?"  click bait thread?  Or is that one too obvious to get away with.
