Just for comparisons sake, PS3 sold more units this week last year than what WiiU did this year. Wii U has reached PS3's 6th year level of sales, nothing to be impressed by, and tipically, every console starts ramping up after mid November in Japan, especially Nintendo consoles, so this shouldn't be a surprise.
Seasonal boost, that's it. 3D World however has a very worrying performance.
Wii U has 3 games left this year (DQX Expansion, Mario and Sonic and MHFG) None of them will break 100k, so I doubt they'll be of much help.
We will be seeing sad faces once again come January's numbers. Wii behaved exactly like this (with a much higher baseline though) in Japan during its last years. Terrible numbers throughout the year and a 5 week spike at the Holidays which ended dramatically on the second week of January.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
