"Oh dear" is my response to everything this week.
Pikmin - not bad, really, considering the glacial pace that Wii-U is selling at. Bit less than Pikmin 1's debut, so not terrible. I must admit, though, I was swept up in the hype of "Nintendo are advertising it!" and thought it would at least sell 100k+.
Wii-U - to be expected. Pikmin just wasn't going to be much of a system seller to people other than loyal Nintendo fans, who likely already owned the system. Again, 20k is a bit below what I was thinking (25kish), so not a disaster, but really not what the console needed (especially given the marketing push).
Youkai Watch - no idea what to think. People keep telling me "wait for the anime!" so I guess we will indeed have to see with that one; but it's not really a fantastic opening.
Metal Gear Solid - seems poor, even if it is just a collection of games that everyone already owns.
Toukiden - tumbling like a rock, which is a shame. Doubtful whether it'll beat Persona's LT numbers now; although it should easily get past Miku & Soul Sacrifice (and I suppose it's being held back by 100k+ worth of PSP sales, too).
Atelier - WHY DON'T YOU LOVE IT ANYMORE JAPAN!? Uff. I hope this doesn't have any bearing on whether TK localise or not.
Vita hardware - nothing to write home about, but should hold at a decent level long enough for Dragon's Crown to release and boost it up a bit more. Although it's a long wait for anything major after that.
