I think Europe is actually the most important market to predict future Wii U demand because of all the main regions Europe is the least Nintendo friendly market and therefore it will be a good barometer for demand outside of the Nintendo faithful and the new loyal Wii fanbase. If they cannot increase demand there then I suspect that the U.S.A. will soon follow a similar pattern. The Wii did well in Europe because it expanded the market for the console but if the market for this console contracts in Europe it means they haven't yet gained the interest of their old expanded market.

Odd reasoning. With that logic the x360 would have been doomed for it's lack of Japanese support/sales.

The biggest problem any console has in Europe is the (post-)recession there. Dedicated consoles are low tier luxury products. In that kind of economy, these are the first to suffer. The first to lose sales.
