It's been so long I think we've all forgotten that console launches usually kind of suck. XD

This is an especially interesting scenario though. The current generation probably has more market saturation than any before it. In addition, people's disposable income is more spread out among technology than it's ever been. During the last console cycle people weren't budgeting a few $100 a year towards a smart phone.

So basically console makers are asking game publishers to take a huge risk here: go from a heavily saturated market to a brand new one where people have less money to go around.

I don't think the sluggish start of the Wii U is going to be unique.
I think most people have said that

But were brushed off for.. well Nintendo lacking compelling software at launch.. which is true.

I think two launching side by side will also be curious to watch
