I'm not sure why people seem to think these Wii U sales are terrible... I mean, they're down about 50% over last week which is pretty consistent with every console except the Vita... So I'm not sure what else people were expecting. I think the numbers are fine. They're in line with last year's numbers, but I don't expect numbers to drop as quickly. Week 2 of January will be more telling. If sales drop to below 50K, then things are really bad.

Im sure when week 2 rolls around you will conveniently come up with another excuse for the Wii U. 

Here are a couple that come to mind:

1. Wait till Donkey Releases

2. Wait till smash releases

3. wait till MK8 releases

4. its 3rd parties fault for not putting games on the system.

What makes these sales terrible is that 2013 was an awful year for the Wii U, especially for the first like 11 months,  the hurdle they have to jump is not that high. You had sparse game releases and the two tiered prices.  This year you have supposed system sellers and a price adjustment and its only on par with last years numbers? Get out of here.
