It's interesting to note here that the Wii U sold 308k or so in it's opening 2 days in Japan (and it had the joy of Christmas competition). Ps4 had nothing else new and exciting released to compete with and no amazing deals for other devices to compete with and still sold just a little better than the Wii U did in it's opening 2 days. I'm seriously starting to wonder if Japan really IS turning into a smartphone/handheld only country...

You are missing 3 big points here.

1. The WiiU didn't have a de facto competition. It was the very first 8th gen console and had all the hype with it from E3.

2. Nintendo has a big kids demographic. Just guess which time around they all get presents.

3. People buy A LOT more around christmas time than in late february.

In light of that the PS4 is already much more popular than the WiiU
