It looks like Nintendo has shipped 176k wii u units in FY15Q2 in Japan,194% yoy up,blame it on splatoon+super mario maker. 500k+ possibly worldwide...

Nintendos own IR info seems to suggest (to me at least) that they have sold less WiiUs in Japan every successive year.

Eh?What?

In FY15Q1 as I say in the op they shipped 150k wii u units,last year same quarter they had shipped 60k...(the almost tripling in the shipments it's owing to splatoon)http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150729e.pdf vs   http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2014/140730e.pdf (at the end of the page)
