honestly, dont be pessimistic!!!

Selling 140k minimum fw already putting predictions to shame. w101 level of sales??? C'monnnnnn :)

its doing good so far in just one region, i dont see it doing well in the USA or at all in EU. 

It's been trending well on all the usual indicators in the US, especially Amazon.  So it seems to be doing well here.  As for EU, that's the Wii U's weakest market.
