Absolutely atrocious and during holiday season as well. Though it does not affect Japan as much it is still better then sales in Q3. I think Wii U has a chance at reaching that, because well it is a home console and it has very little for releases for it. Not only that I do not see very many titles that appeal to the japanese audience. I am hoping after Pikmin 3 the console sees very good sales (relatively).

Yeah, I think that might be the week before the white model launched or something. It was much higher the next week. So that 4k number is a little artificially low. Still, it has fallen below 6k a couple of other times, and under 7k a lot.

If the Wii U hasn't dropped that low yet, I don't think it ever will. Even in the post-GW slump it's at nearly 8k. It's no consolation though, since that's terrible enough. But I don't think we'll see sub-4k sales unless there's a huge price cut or something.

I am thinking instead of price cut that Nintendo will change the Wii U SKUS. So it might have a week like that. Since what I am hearing is that the day one patch takes up like 2gb and if you have the 8gb you got barely anything left. More value but same price kind of thing.

Ya that could be likely. Start bundling Nintendo Land with Basic sku and NSMBU with Deluxe
