So it might in the end sell 10K WiiUs. (Yes, I do joke a bit here, but people take the word system-seller too serious usually.)

I agree with that. Especially in Japan, where it's not common at all for a system to sell more than 20k units (well, if it's not the 3DS anyways). People usually have too high of expectations (or they like to pretend they did to make the numbers appear disappointing).

The fact of the matter is that a new IP shifting the Wii U 10k units FW is no small feat.
