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

The game sold about 100,000 in it's first few days in Japan.

It did not give the Wii U a huge boost, but this is just one game. One game a month and the Wii U all of a sudden shoots up.

This is also only one week, if Wii U sales drop back down to 10,000 units weekly, no progress is made.

Actually, after Pikmin 3's release, I'm a bit worried for the Wii U. I thought Pikmin 3, the first AAA exclusive for the Wii U, would have boosted sales a lot more in Japan. I thought hardware would have gone to 40,000 units or so, not just 22,200.

I just hope this is enough to keep Wii U sales a bit higher, I now can't see Wii U outselling the PS3/360 until PS4/One or Super Mario 3D Worlds releases, and after the holidays I'm not longer confident that sales will continue to hold.

P.S. It's actually 2 games because Super Luigi U released on the same day, and now Japan has nothing for over a month.
