Wii U is not competing with the 360 and PS3 launches, its competing with them now. What happened with the other launches is irrelevant....the price, the lack of games and the power of the console puts it at a disadvantage against the competition competition today.I still find it amusing that people criticise the Wii U for its launch, when it shipped and sold more consoles than Microsoft and Sony did during their last launches. Hell, it wasn't that much worse than the Wii's launch
Where were the complaints about them not giving a good environment for third parties?
People are so expectant for consoles to sell 10 million units off the bat and everything to just shower down instantly. That's not how it works and if you think so, you'll be in for a surprise come the launch of Microsoft and Sony's next consoles
Nintendo screwed up again, but no one should be surprised.
