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.

I was refering to this era of their home consoles and I really don't think its simply down to the Wii U's numbers, the even bigger contrast between its big sellers (The mario games) and everything else is evidence of that. If anything the selection of titles is the reason the hardware isn't selling, not the otherway round. But of course its a bit of both. Nintendo seem to have a much better grasp of what works on the 3DS as opposed to the Wii U.
For me its a question of what gets greenlit and why. I still think they were niave in putting DK as a priority title, it never pegged me as a system seller and we all know the early years of a system are the most important.
