I don't understand this. The 3DS is selling amazingly, and the Wii U is selling like shit, and Nintendo is called a failure. The PS4 is selling amazingly, and the Vita is selling like shit, and Sony is called a success. Don't they cancel each other out?

Well, they don't exactly cancel each other out. Just look at the yearly sales:

 

  • PS-hardware 2014 (PS4 + PS3 + Vita + PSP) = 20.6 million
  • Nintendo-hardware 2014 (WiiU + Wii + 3DS + DS) = 13.9 million
  • PS-software 2014 (PS4 + PS3 + Vita + PSP) = 190 million
  • Nintendo-software 2014 (WiiU + Wii + 3DS + DS) = 125 million

  • PS-hardware 2015 (so far) = 3.4 million
  • Nintendo-hardware 2015 (so far) = 2.4 million
  • PS-software 2015 (so far) = 28 million
  • Nintendo-software 2015 (so far) = 16 million
