Are Pikmin 3 FW sales proof enough for you that the Wii U is not doomed?

It doesn't prove anything, really. 22k is still really low and its unlikely to maintain even that level of sales. The game itself is also unlikely to have legs as it isn't a very popular IP and the install base is too low to support it.

We've seen it with Vita. It gets a semi-big game once in a while and it gets a nice boost only to drop back down to "normal" a few weeks later. What's the next biggest Wii U release that can actually make any sort of difference?

There are a bunch of games coming out starting in august for NA, idk about Japan, but if one niche game can increase sales by 250% in only 2 days.  Imagine what the ridiculous lineup this fall and winter will do.

Why do you people keep saying this "2 days" thing? Don't all new game releases only get 2 days?

Anyway Pikmin isn't exactly "niche". It's being made by Miyamoto isn't it? That alone should speak for the quality of the game. Do I even need to mention  the heavy promotion of this game over the past year? This is the Nintendo's first major 1st party effort for Wii U.
