Wii U sales - week of October the 5th - 83 thousand units

[curl-6]

This demonstrates that Wii U can sell when it gets desirable software. It's just that it has lost all its momentum in the Q1/2 drought and has to build it back up again.
It will truly hit its stride once the heavy hitters like Mario Kart and Smash Bros. are out.
Other exclusives like 3D World, Sonic Lost World, Bayonetta 2, X, Donkey Kong Country, and Zelda U will help also.
