Wii U is now 1 month old and has sold 1.8 million units. How is it doing?

Well, if Nintendo's stock price is any indicator, it's not doing well at all. Nintendo stock in the U.S. at least, will hit a fresh 52 week low tomorrow.

A very un-merry Nintendo Christmas.

Nintendo NTDOY shares currently trade at 2005 levels, before the Wii, the 3DS, or the Wii U were sparkles in Miyamoto's eyes.

When you consider that Nintendo loses money on each Wii U sold, and the attach rate is reportedly a measly 1.2 at retail...the Wii U is doing badly.

Lastly I don't believe in the "every console has problems at launch so it's ok for the Wii U" group-think that pervades gamer minds. I think the half-baked console with huge chunks of missing and clunky software, shows a lack of excellence within the company.

Man you must have really hated the Xbox360 then? Since it actually broke due to poor quality... And we still haven't gotten any numbers for the eShop, so far all we know it could have an attach rate of 5! I doubt it though, but I think the attach rate is higher than 1.2 at least
