i released at the same time as PS3 in Japan. Why in the flying F are you bringing up the last 2 years? 

Because we're are talking about Japans apetite for consoles in the last few years, we're in 2013 now, not in 2006. The PS3 has had great games and has been available at a great price, yet sales have been stale, so the Wii U not having competition from the PS4/X1 isn't significant because the japanese may just place more interest in the 3DS and PSvita as always. Not to mention that the ps3 has a strong fall line up GT6 (mega seller like mario), Lightning Returns, FFXHD, J star versus and plenty more japanese centric titles.

We're talking holiday momentum here. PS3 is old news. We're talking WiiU vs PS4 vs XBone in 2013. Noone is talking about handhelds. It is completely irrelevant to this discussion.
In the context of home consoles. Is the WiiU going to dissapoint in Japan this holiday? 


Holidays included, recent years have seen very weak console sales. And of course handhelds are relevent if they're stealing market from the Wii  U. Whether expectation for home consoles should be adjusted, is all part of the discussion. I personally think the Wii U will perform  decent... I'll elaborate on my predictions.


September:
Japan: 50k- Weak  
October:
Japan: 100k- Decent
November:
Japan: 180k- Decent
December:
Japan: 430k- strong
