it's numbers are higher than 3ds, ps3 and 360 regular uk weeks, that's hardly "half-dead".

So you're telling me that during the 1st price cut week and the release of a strong IP game, Wii U managed to sell 1k -2k more than 8 year old consoles??? My God, Wii U is a BEAST

Let's put that "selling more than 8 year old consoles" point into perspective, shall we?

We're talking about consoles (PS360) that peaked much later in their life due to high launch prices, consoles that are now mass market prices with extensive libraries of games, and consoles that just had the single biggest entertainment product release (GTAV) in history revenue wise (not to mention sales monsters like COD every year).

When you consider that, a console less than a year old with a relatively tiny selection of games that is still the most expensive gaming console on the market beating systems with that kind of appeal is certainly noteworthy.
