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!

Lol, you do realize sales in EVERYTHING in the world are better in the bottom half of the year? That's true for most countries in the world. 

Music sales, movie ticket sales, DVD sales, etc. The list goes on. That's just not even linked holidays or religion. It's just a thing that happens. You can't even use that defense that it's a "holiday boost" in all consoles when November is Thanksgiving/Black Friday in the US and no where else. That boost would never relay to Japan. Sales are just generally better in the bottom half of the year.

That doesn't mean Wii U would go from 3k sales to 30k sales like that. That's not a holiday boost or any general boost that applies to other consoles or else EVERY console that was selling well all year (X360 & PS3) would have sold 100k which they didn't. Just accept Wii U is doing well and it's not a fluke, better yet, just wait and see how consistent the sales will be going forward to further prove my point.

Good software drives console sales. It's not rocket science. 

Japan Wii U Sales going forward

Jan 12th – 14,211
Jan 19th –11,307
Jan 26 -  9,039
Feb 1st -  8,445
Feb 8th – 7,807

Seems pretty consistent to me.
