The Japanese are rapidly adopting the Wii U, it is very clear from the sales on Amazon of not only the console but its accessories. MK8 has been atop amazon.co.jp for about 2 weeks now and the Wii U console just zoomed past the PS4 yesterday even though its hardly been in the top 100 this year until about 2 days ago. The PS4 then went on to fall like a stone dropping as low as 50 today despite being consistently in the top 20 since its launch. If it continues on the same trajectory with the past 48 hrs, the PS4 might well be completely out of the top 100 in a week. Sony need a strategy for Japan, it is seriously bucking the worldwide trend.
The only unknown is if the Wii U can translate this into some form of momentum in Japan.
