Good news, but hardly an inspiring achievement - one is the latest entry in one of gaming's longest-running, most successful series, the other is a poorly reviewed launch title aimed at a younger audience which was never going to do Mario type numbers because its aimed at children, who are not the sort of people who buy consoles at launch and whose parents usually wait until they've dropped in price.
It avoids some of the embaressment that would have otherwise happened, but its still a sign of how much work nintendo has to do in the west, particularly in europe - I may be wrong and I'm prepared to be called out if I am, but I don't think the post-christmas slump in January is going to be very kind to WiiU once the crutch of nintendo's usual strong holiday performances is kicked away.
At least things should stabilise after MK8 and SSB and DK:TF come out, but that window, though it mightn't last too long, will probably still look pretty painful
There is however one thing we can say with certainty - there will be doom threads, lots and lots of doom threads :(
