When you have no new games, it's tough to sell new consoles. Sales like this seem surprising until you look at the releases (or lack of them), then suddenly they start to make sense. And sales are going to be just as bad if not worse next month, especially not the only major release, Rayman, was foolishly pushed back by Ubisoft, to release simultaneously with the PS360 version, even though most of those gamers aren't going to care about that game anyway.
We won't start to see Wii U pick up until mid March when we get Lego City Stories, Monster Hunter, and later Wii Fit and Game and Wario. But even then, sales won't even get to the "decent" level until they release Yoshi, 3D Mario, Smash Bros, and Mario Kart. Nintendo simply needs more games, and if they cannot provide them, a price drop is in order, as that should at least temporarily boost sales.
