The Vita received FAR more support than the Virtual Boy, it had a clear place in Sony's lineup (Handheld, successor to PSP), it wasn't discontinued after a year, it isn't any more atypical than the WiiU and it wasn't put out to die.

Virtual Boy didn't even have a place. N64 came out a year later, Virtual Boy was never meant to be Nintendo's Home Console and certainly not it's handheld.

I never claimed VB was supposed to be the successor to N64, it could very well be Game Boy successor (it even shares the name), and Nintendo being faster to kill it than Sony to PSVita doesn't make VB not being accounted for.

Xbox original had like half the life time of X360 in the market, should we discount it?

Virtual Boy was discontinued after 6 months, the OG Xbox was discontinued after 7.5 years (in NA).... lol.

The Virtual Boy isn't comparable to any other system I used to calculate the averages, it's a huge anomaly. If you want to include it go ahead, but I won't.
