I can only chalk it up to two things, Though I dont live their so I can be for certain but mobile has taken more of a hit on handheld in the U.K. than in other places and also, the perception of the Wii U by gamers is horrible. Many still see it as the family and kiddie Wii console and the ones that dont, the families that purchased the console, they already have a wii and dont see a difference between the U and the wii because of the bad advirtisment  (and name). I think it is about the horrible perception the Wii U has over in the U.K. It has a perception of being an upgrade, not a new generation, which is what it is. I think the 3ds is doing fine though, it'll keep burning bright for a while.
