Wii U Sells Only Over 48k IN Japan!? Dooomed :-)

Sure, paint it however you like, I agree the Japanese are done with home consoles (I think PS4 will do 8m+ though).

If the WiiU gets over 100k a week in Japan at any point this month then I'll call that a success, but when Wii was doing double 48k in Japan in the summer months, you know?

It's not that we are calling it a success now but rather we are saying it's no longer sitting squarely at the corner of Doom St and Gloom Ave.   Nintendo took action in Japan and it's working.  Are we not allowed to discuss this?  Would we prefer it go over 100k?  Certainly but we should also applaud any movement in the right direction and going from the 3k to 5k range to 10 times that much is certainly a move in the right direction.

 

I'd rather see 1 of these threads every few months than the dozens of doom threads we were seeing every day.  I would like to think I'm not alone in that sentiment.
