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?

Why are you setting the bar so high for success? The real test is if it manages to maintain its numbers around the 50k mark for the remainder of the year. That would make the Wii U as successful as PS3 was last year.

But PS3 was in its 7th? year last year! That's not a very high bar!

Still it was "successful" last year. Success doesn't have to be insane Wii-esque numbers. The Wii was an exception, in the current Japanese market, the Wii U's recent performance is great. Now, we just need to see if it holds for the rest of the year.
