What is the definition of a dead console?

I think you should first look up the definition of "trolling". ;)

Step 2: Make up an arbitrary weekly/monthly sale number in your own head that you feel a console needs to reach without any knowledge on the financial spec sheets, what r&d has been spent, what's needed to make a profit, etc.

Step 3: If it doesn't reach that arbitrary number, declare it dead. Pat yourself on the back for being one helluva an armchair analyst.

This is a description on most Wii U/Vita sales threads.

We also need the definition of a 'failed console.'

Oh come on WiiU has only been out for two weeks it's too soon to call it dead.


I wasn't posting that image to say that the WiiU is dead. It was another quote that I was answering too. Look again, please :).

I'd say a console that has ceased production. Even if hardware sales are low. Software sales are low. If the console is still out there available for purchase then it's still very much alive.
