The Wii U launch was more or less in line with what Nintendo typically does for a November launch to the end of the year (Gamecube 3.29 not adding the .51k from Japan's early launch, Wii 3.19, Wii U 3.09). Two of those three consoles were commercial failures and one was a success... so taking this statement from Gamestop with a grain of salt is ok because these preorders are not indicative of its future. |
Thank you for taking the time to dig out those numbers.
Also, the Switch won't do better, simply because Nintendo only made 2 millions of them for launch... So well, we can already expect the usual PR comment "Switch's launch is a tremendous succes, the demand is so high that we can't satisfy every customers, we'll do our best to produce as many units as needed in the coming months blablabla"
