And that's all that needs to be said about Wii U currently. I don't understand why is there 17 pages of mess and spinning. 

The Wii U is doing A LOT better than it was before and if it stabilizes at this area of sales, it's definitely back in the picture as a contender this gen. 

That's all there is to it.

It's the holiday season, everything is doing better than before. Have you ever heard about a console that didn't sell more during the holidays?

"and if it stabilizes at this area of sales" You think it will keep on selling holiday numbers after new year's? Holidays are massive, often bigger than the 10 months leading up to it, and as far as holiday sales go; this is an extremely long shot from impressive and certainly not a sign of a great 2014.

Everyone is going on about how launch hype doesn't mean anything (which is 100% true) but then go about claiming that a (weak) holiday boost ensures a bright future, it's perplexing.

You do realize these are Japanese sales right? LOL. 

Japan doesn't have Christmas/Holiday Season in the sense like the West since their country's main religious belief isn't Christianity. 

Meaning, there's no such thing as a "holiday boost" for a country that doesn't even acknowledge the holiday. Christmas is on the same level as Valentines Day in the US. Some people celebrate and some don't It's not federal so no one is off from work nor are there in store sales in most stores for Christmas.

Thank you for TRYING to be correct but you're not. Nintendo is doing fine in Japan and you just have to deal with that. 

Yeah, I guess that's why home consoles often are up 200-400% in weekly sales in mid December compared to early October in Japan? The charts are open to everyone and easy to read.

Consoles get a holiday boost in Japan. They don't have to be a christian nation to get that boost, and like I said; it's right there in the charts every year.

Oh, and you're welcome!
