The PS4 is doing quite well, Xone is still selling 80-100k on weekly basis which isn't all that bad. Wii U seems pretty much dead.

the Xone is selling equivalent to a handheld that is a few years older than it... I wouldn't call that 'good'

 

the Wii U isn't quite dead, 40k is SOMETHING. you can't call something dead if the next competition is only like a bit more than double it. also when is the last time a new Wii U game came out? the last few months have been pretty damn dry, so. if there had been some game releases then I would understand being suprised the Wii U sales are awful right now, but there haven't been

 

The X360 and PS3 sold around 100k for quite a while. It's a pretty decent baseline considering it gets you 8-10 million sales a year. Besides if 100k is not good than 40k for a newer console that can't even compete with an older handheld is abysmal. Zelda TP HD will be launching soon enough so I would have tought to see a growing line.

 

I can call something dead when one of it's competitor outsells it 7:1 which is a lot worse than 2.5:1. But we are entitled to our opinions I think the Vita is dead as well except for Japan, so it's not pure hate against Nintendo, I am even quite impressed with the performance of the 3DS.
