Lets look at other big Wii U exclusives FW Japan. According VGChartz.

Pikmin 3- 96k
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD- 31k
Wii Party U- 76k
Super Mario 3D World- 102k
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze- 38k
Mario Kart 8- 334k

Hyrule Warriors- 64k (based on the 69k and 79k)

See its not that bad. If you take off Mario Kart 8, it looks very good
Btw i was expecting 25k Wii U sales but 18k is good

Of all of the above titles Hyrule W seems like the one that would be the most front loaded, obviously time may prove otherwise...

This list kinda reaffirms that most of Nintendo's first party titles flopped in Japan this era.

WHAT????!!!

Maybe not most but a fair portion of the games that were supposed to support the system fell short (not neccesarily 1st party). Bar Wii Party U, only games with Mario in the title really performed well.

Wonderful 101; 50k Flop
Zelda Wind Waker HD; 100k flop
Donkey Kong; 110k flop
Pikmin 3; 250k decent
Hyrule Warriors; Weak Openning (likely will flop)

For a flagship title, anything less than 200k is a flop in my eyes.

So not in this era, just in the Wii U, a bad selling system. 3DS titles are doing superb, and i believe from now on Wii U games will be a successs too.
