No surprises here imo. If I was Nintendo I'd be concerned about Wii U performance at this rate.

Wii U is trending really well at the moment, no reason to worry unless sales fall off a cliff and Pikmin/ Lego City/ Wonderful 101 don't make a significant impact at retail.  Those three games need to do really well or Wii U will be flat-lining until Holiday 2013.

Seems many people are starting to make excuses for Wii U lackluster sales already.  What do those three games bring that the ones that are already released dont (COD, 2D mario, Assassin creed 3, you know, mega blockbusters). Couple that with games coming out from the competation (GTA5, GOW, GOW, a new castlevania,dead space, the list gones on)  Pikmin delayed, wont be showing up until at least Q2.  Its just a system people in europe do not want and released at the wrong time by Nintendo.
