not my fault you think every day of every week of every month of every year has to be perfect

It doesn't matter which day, week, month or year you look at; the numbers are still low. Flat in the US yoy for one month is decent enough but overall it'll probably be down yoy globally despite some growth in Japan.

And what do you mean by "pulling a PS3" anyway? The PS3 sold almost 8 million in its first full CY, with a staggered launch from Japan and was never anywhere near this low in the first years, it also grew consistently every year for 5-6 years and peaked at around 14 million in its best year. And it has had a 9 year lifespan now. Which of those do you believe the Wii U will be capable of?

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I'm just wondering whether there are still actual, real human beings who believe in some divine comeback at this point. All signs point to less than 20 million lifetime right now, there is literally zero indication of anything else and lots of indications that even Nintendo themselves are preparing to move on and try again with new products.
The problem here isn't that others are being negative, it's rather that you are being way too optimistic with no basis in actual numbers and the reality of the market unfolding before us.

Don't say zero... that is an entity that would believe in a comeback that would pass X1+PS4 numbers.
