2 - Wii U is outracking the PS3 and 360

Wii U sold 2,524,845 units after 3 months, while PS3 sold 1,769,656, and 360 sold 2,029,160. PS4 will be a clone of the 360 and PS3, but with more power, so PS4 will do just as much as the console it will copy.

3 - Wii U has an innovative idea

Wii U's GamePad is innovate and PS4 will not be innovative. Wii U's innovation will sell consoles

 

Both of these are actually very good reasons ( or were back then )when supporting the fact that the WII U was going to outsell the PS4.

 

Reason 4 was just plain stupid ( No offence to your 11 year old self ) and Reason 1 is...meh. Only reason the WII U doesn't have many generic titles is because there's a lack of third party titles on the system.

I think if you look into reason 2, It's not entirely valid. After the end of the launch years (2006 and 2012) the gap for PS3 and Wii U was about 1,000,000 units in Wii U's favor. Around 1 1/2 months later the gap was around 750,000 in Wii U's favor.  And 360 went from a 1,100,000 gap to a 500,000 gap. You just have to take into account that Wii U lost the steam after the better launch, and the gap was getting smaller.
