Yes, it is awful. If this was on any other console we'd be calling it a mega flop. But it's on the WiiU which doesn't sell a lot of games and it only has two days of tracking so I'm just calling it mediocre for now. 

Is not awfull dude, not even close. The game is close to 450 FW WW and showing big legs already.

The witcher 3 sold 270k on XBO being the third of the saga, being hyped for 2 years with crazy pre-orders since the last year, and that data is from 11 days.

Splatoon without any kind of hype until 2 weeks before the release has managed to sell half of that in 2 days being a whole new IP, on a console with only the 60% of the userbase that XBO has.

Not even close from being awfull, nor mediocre.

I'm purely talking about US numbers here. The game has done well in Japan for sure and I'll happily admit it exceeded my expectations in the East. For the launch The US numbers are nothing special. I don't think Nintendo's disappointed, but I think that's more of case of very low expectations for everything they release on WiiU nowadays. Now it can always leg out and pull some solid numbers over time but as of now I don't see anything worth celebrating for the NPD. Especially when, very worringly, the game had no effect on hardware.
