If we apply that kind of bigger picture to other devices like 3DS vs. Vita, then the 3DS would be a huge win in pretty much every country in the world. Or if we keep it to Japan, we could compare anything to the performance of the Xbox One and conclude that everyone else is winning big time. Beating a (mightily) struggling competitor shouldn't be the bar for success. |
That's too black and white. Just let me get out of the way I have to qualms with the 3DS being the undisputed king. WW and Japan especially it definitely done respectable numbers.
Regarding the Wii U in Japan. It's not a success but it's not a bomb. I mean it sold 850k this year. the ps4 sold 1.3m
I'd describe that as the Wii U not doing great but definitely a million miles from bombing. Like the x1 sold what 20k this year?
In Japan the vita sold 1m again. In this one region I'd describe the sales as average for a console but shit for a handheld.
So yeah Wii U doing 850k is not good or bad. Ps4 doing 1.3m and nowhere near it's peak I'd describe as both good and promising. Have you forgotten a year ago the experts on various forums mainly gaf said the ps4 would even cross 5m? It will cross 4m after 2016 and be around 6m at the end of 2017 with many years left on market.
