Come on, it not that simple.

Volume has it's part to play, so does supply and demand.

If Acme made a console but just the one, and only two people in the UK
wanted then:

  1). The console is a success, supply outstripped demand by 100%, and

  2). The console was a failure, only two people want it out of
      millions in the UK.

Now pay Gallop to take a survey and tell them which answer you want
and they'll make sure you'll get it.  :-)

It's way too early to say which console is a success.  Wait 12 months,
then watch all the company's claim that their console was.  They have
the statistics to prove it too.
