Learn to read.  PS2 was the most powerful console at the time of it's release.  PS was the most powerful console at the time of its release.  Although both were not the most powerful console of their generation, they were the most powerful consoles at the time of their release.

Talk about moving the goalpost LOL.

Guess what, the Wii U was the most powerful console at the time of its release.

Yes it was, but only barely, and we are comparing to 6 and 7 year old consoles at the time.  Nintendo also failed to ever officially make the claim the Wii U was more powerful, or release system specs to back it up.  Also a few publishers made claims that the 360 and PS3 were in fact more powerful which led fanboys to also argue the same in message boards.

The whole point of selling a console is to create hype.  Nintendo though the controller could sell the system, and when it couldn't, they didn't have a plan B.

My whole point is that each winner other than Wii was high end at the time of their release relative to the sale price.  Not that having the most powerful console gaurantees success.



Lifetime Sales Prediction - 6/29/2013
Wii U - 38 million
XBOX One - 88 million
Playstation 4 - 145 million
