Well even if these estimates are correct it's still not very good. Let's say Wii-U did 120k in January oppossed to the 80K VGChartz suggests, that still only adds about 10k a week tops. Wich means Wii-U was still only doing 50k a week worldwide, while the original Wii did about 250k a week in the same peroid after launch. As a comparison, even the PS3 did 60k-70k at it's lowest point in January after launch, and that was before it launched in europe and with a $500-$600 price tag.

All it's saying though is, that if the Wii U is so drastically undertracked in America, why wouldn't it also be the case in, say, Europe?

"Drastically". Come on, Cone . Nintendo also showed us their numbers, so we know we aren't much off in Europe.

Eh, percentage-wise it's about 35-40%, so that is quite a big difference. I'd imagine it to be around 100k when all is said and done, so it's still pretty damn dire, just not as bad as we'd imagined.
