So the switch had to contend with the ps4 pro made it tougher than when the ps4 released? Wii u was only a year old and was selling decently. Ps4 also released on the same date as the xbox one so that alone made it harder for the ps4 than what the switch had to contend with at launched. You two are nintendo fans so of course you would think ps4 had it easier than the switch

When was the WiiU ever selling decently?  It exited it's first holiday season with over 2 million sales and only managed to add another 1.5 million by the following holiday season.  And that was with nothing to contend with but an 8 year old Xbox 360 and a 7 year old PS3.

WE 11/9/2013:

3DS -  350,666
PS3 -  160,637
360 -  123,739
PSV -   70,794
WiiU -  59,112
Wii -    31,290

I bought my WiiU at launch and got a great deal of enjoyment out of it.  But, I don't disillusion myself into thinking that it didn't flop hard out of the gate.
