Comparing these failing platforms feels so weird because I am pretty sure in both cases Sony and Ninty pulled the plug on these platforms well before they sold what they would have been capable of selling if the companies were 100% dedicated to them. So comparing sales in this case isn't really a measure of achievement but rather a measure of who gave up the first and where giving up the first in this case is probably the better business decision and resulted in more money/less losses for the company in the long term. For example, if Nintendo cut the gamepad and dropped the Wii U price in half while also making BotW a Wii U exclusive and doubled-down supporting the Wii U for another couple of years, I am sure that the Wii U could have gotten close to Gamecube sales. It's just that the much better business decision was to drop the Wii U hard and go with the Switch. I am sure that it was something similar with the Vita where Sony just gave up on it once they realized that it would never come close to the PSP and putting more money into it would just be a loss.
