Wii U outsold Bone. Bone doomed, especially in Europe. Price is just too high.

Lol wut? The correct response is Wii U only sells 12k more than Bone despite 114k sales in Japan where Bone is not available. Wii U doomed everywhere but Japan. Price is not a factor so it must be just that people are indifferent to it. Bone is doing badly in Europe but Wii U is doing worse! Bone has price as excuse, what's Wii U's?

And when the Bone IS available in Japan, will it sell well enough there to overcome the Wii U's edge in that region?

Clearly most weeks it will. PS4 will be selling there and this taking a substantial chunk of the market. Wii U won't have weeks like this very often in Japan and Xb one will be selling in more markets. Xb one has more room for price cuts in the medium term, probably be $50 cheaper by this time next year is my guess. Xb one may also be a bit supply constrained in USA but this week's number could also be a reflection of the real relative demand between Xb one and PS4 we need more databefore we can draw conclusions. Fact is Wii U is weak everywhere but Japan. The true picture for Xb one outside USA can't be known until it is released in all markets. In USA Xb one will sell considerably better than Wii U. I think prospects for Xb one are better than for Wii U all things considered.
