Where are those people? I remember every "WiiU doing poorly" thread had a bunch of posters going "Do you think X720/PS4 will do any better?".
But the WiiU launch wasn't bad though. Gamestop had a wait list for WiiU. But after the superfans were done it dried up.
Launch doesn't mean shit and that includes PS4 and Xbone. You should know this.
Superfans hype this stuff to no end and buy all of them up. It is still entirely possible that these new consoles will start struggling in the Sring and Summer of 2014. Just look at the number of really big games still coming to the current gen in Q4 and Q1/Q2 of 2014:
Titanfall, Destiny, COD, Batman, Gran Turismo 6, Assassins Creed 4, GTA V, EA sports games.
These are the games that the middle ground gamers buy consoles for, and they already own consoles that play all these games. They won't rush out and drop $400 and $500 to play Dead Rising 3 or Infamous Second Son or Killzone despite what fanboys think.
Nah, I actually think these new consoles have a lot to prove. Not buying the post E3 preorder hype one iota.
