I thought that the original Wii sold about 460K in the US in the first week (600K in all of North America), and it was massively successful... so how is 400K for the Wii U in the US bad? Did people actually expect the Wii U to beat one of the most frenzied console launches ever? I think the fact that it's that close without the hysteria the Wii had is very encouraging.

Edit: Factor in that there's no Zelda to push sales like when the Wii launched and it looks even better.
