I have. The launch of the WiiU was better, but the weekly sales are now worse than what PS3 and X360 did back then. Look for yourself:

We now know that the reason for this is returns. The Wii U didn't "really" sell as well as we thought it did during its launch period, but the tradeoff is that it isn't as DOOMED as it looks in the aftermath. The numbers are just shifted in a weird way. It might even be undertracked for February, assuming everyone returned their consoles in January.

"We know"? it is the first time I hear about this theory. And while I must say, that Pachters give this theory some more probability, the hint to software-sales really point to bad hardware sales. and even doubled sales wouldn't be great. It would be in line with Vita worldwide and in line with PS3 in the US (first years numbers for each). If the theory is true, we should see better sales in the coming weeks. That should proof or disproof this theory.
