This talk about "undeserved" puzzles me.

I can understand the mentality that would lead to such a statement and it has little to do with objectivity, but is "undeserved" supposed to mean:

a) The Nintendo Wii deserves to have majority market share

b) The Xbox One deserves to have majority market share

c) The Nintendo Wii and Xbox One sales combined deserve to add up to majority market share


The Wii U doesn't deserve anything given that Nintendo lost the expanded/casual market that made the Wii such a success. It's largely the Nintendo core audience that's keeping that platform going and that has always been a smaller niche in the console space.

The Xbox One doesn't even merit an explanation as to why it should have earned a leadership position in market share; everyone knows where MS went wrong with the platform even as the company has made many legitimate strides (and continues to make more) to rectify the current situation.
