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?

That's what I wanted to say. Vita has shown similar patterns, good boosts only single big titles but fell back after some time. Anyways, as the end of the year looks a bit better games-wise I think the WiiU can stabilize on a higher niveau. But not high enough to be a substantial hurdle to the PS4 or XBOne to overcome in sales.

the ps4/xone will have their share of struggling. it will be incredibly hard to overcome wii u sales.

It might be possible, that they struggle too. But if they have difficulties to overcome the numbers of WiiU we look at a desastrous gen.
