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

It's not any more doomed than the Vita is in Japan.

That's pretty damned doomed.

Well, the Vita isn't doing poorly in Japan. It's been able to sell software at good levels and there's been plenty of surprising successes (hence, all of the Japanese 3rd party support it's getting).

To be honest, I can't agree with any of those statements. It's seen small bumps in hardware sales after the release of 'major' titles (Soul Sacrifice, that other Monster Hunter clone whose name escapes me right now), but its hardware sales are generally anemic, and its software sales are none too impressive either. Even its heaviest hitters merely do Pretty Good. And I can't name any other major projects in the pipeline at the moment.

So, instead you choose to believe that because they didn't reach whatever arbitrary number they should have gotten in your head, they failed or flopped?

We know that expectations for a lot of the smaller JRPGs were blown away. Especially after Toukiden selling so well (and outdoing the PSP version by a lot as well).
