Xbox One sales in USA are good. Wii U sales are not good in any territory. Why is that too hard to understand? In this world, in the real world, there are many factors that influence the decision of purchasing a product. Part of that is the support. Support is not good on Wii U and that has been affected in the sales. Wii U is the bigger failure in the homeconsole history of Nintendo. Nothing comes close to this one.
Why would the situation on ASDA is not the reflect of the entire gen and how will this guarantee that other bigger retailers will not follow the same? In the end, you just have confirmed that this situation started 2 years ago and clearly affected the Wii U sales. For the UK market, biggest in Europe, Wii U is not a viable product.
Many other retailers could be analysing the situation as for them maybe having more PS4 or Xone consoles/games are more profitable than having Wii U on their shelves. How is this good for Nintendo? I mean, since when a company doesn't care when their products are ditched from a store?

This whole thing started as how this will prevent Wii U from sellign into 2018. Given that his has been a known situation at one retailer in the UK, I'd say whatever harm it was going to do has already been done. And it has had zero impact on the US or Japanese markets at all.
The UK is 5% of Wii U's market. ASDA not having sold Wii U hardware for 2 years means this impacts none of that 5% anyway.

Less retailers to sell won't help the console to last until 2018. This console must be repleaced as soon as possible. They need hardware to sell, not to be ditched.
