It shows how bad the WiiU failed when its software numbers are lower than the hardware numbers for the Switch.

You mean the other way round? Wii U hardware being lower than Switch software

Switch:

  • Hardware:139.36million units
  • Software:1,200.10million units

Wii U:

  • Hardware:13.56million units
  • Software:103.60million units

I think he means this. Total WiiU software sale is less than total Switch sale. Edit: formatting fix.

Yep this is what I meant. There’s always going to be more software sales that hardware. So to see that WiiU didn’t even sell more software than Switch sold hardware, that’s pretty bad.

No, they said it right. Follow the link to article, WiiU only had 100million software sales.
