Take a look at the graph by shadow above.  It shows 8th gen home console sales by the year.  PS4 has been out 2 years and both of them it soundly finished on top.  Winning 2 weeks at Christmas is all well and good but I think winning the year is what's important.  

 

Ps4 is dominating home console hardware and software sales. The 3DS is dominating the handheld side.  so everybody is happy.  

 

Well the person was asking why the Wii U and 3DS didn't increase this week. The obvious answer is they sold sooo much on the week before. If he/she was expecting the Wii U to do another 100k+ this week and beat the PS4 and Vita again then WOW. He/she surely does believe the Wii U will be a success.

 


The Wii U sold 92k last year because splatoon.  A ton of kids wanted it so parents were buying the Wii U for them.  The total numbers for the year were nothing special and in 2016 they won't be either.  

 

I'd call the Wii U a failure because it's going to sell less than half the Wii sales in Japan and be replaced early.  Decent Xmas numbers for a few weeks in 2015 and 2013 won't change that.
