Technically WiiU sales were bad and technically we are talking about shipments. Shipments are likely low due to unsold stock from the previous quarter so the numbers we are seeing above don't necessarily represent the sum total of actual sales.
Don't get me wrong, the figures are abysmal regardless but we already knew that was going to be the case and nothing in the figures from Nintendo was going to change that. Turnaround for the WiiU, if it does happen, was never going to happen in Q1.
Furthermore not supporting a system because it's not selling well is a little bit silly. If a system has games or features that you want why wouldn't you buy it, regardless of it's popularity?
Finally this is not proof that the WiiU is a failure of concept versus lack of games, it's simply proof that the WiiU is not selling well.
