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

Unless WiiU sales hold 20k weekly in Japan, I see no evidence that it will perform better then Gamecube within its first 52 weeks.

If you mean an average of 20k then it still wouldn't beat the Gamecube.  Garaph hasn't updated in a while.  The Wii U is at 32 weeks.  If it averaged 20k for the next 20 weeks, it would be at 1,382k.  A little less than 200k shy of the Gamecube's 52 week total.

So, basically, at least for the first year, WiiU won't top Gamecube. Pikmin 3 really needed to boost the system a lot more then that.

WiiU needs 30k weekly to tie Gamecube, and it might get a little boost in early November, but not enough.
