Could also be a 3DS situation. It had a very disappointing launch, got an emergency price cut like 6 months in, and eventually got a pretty decent game library that carried it and made it a reasonable success. Nowhere near the DS craze, but it was a very different market at that point.

Also, you know, no matter what you think about it and how it's managed, the Wii U didn't have Pokémon.

I'd be surprised if this launch was anywhere as bad as the 3DS, although I suppose it's possible.

To put it in perspective, the 3DS ended up outselling the Xbox One and the N64.
