I'm not sure why people are throwing in holiday sales into the question unless I'm reading it incorrectly.

Breaking 150k per week during the holiday season doesn't mean anything other than the console shouldn't be discontinued entirely or simply left in place as a placeholder until a suitable replacement can be rushed to market.

Sales should be at their lowest for any console at this time of the year, so current sales are not a realistic marker of how they'll trend heading into the next quarter and spring software releases. They'll improve.

Unfortunately, I don't see Wii U sales doing anything more than periodically spiking above 150k in a given week due entirely to a major corresponding title release. It goes without saying, this halo effect is only temporary.

So realistically; no.
