Does the Wii U not exist in UK? Not even a mention of how bad it sold.

According to VGChartz, no. 315K is more than half of the Wii U's current userbase in the UK.

Frankly, Wii U has done terrible in Europe. X1 is considered a failure in Europe and has done significantly better.

Sorry, but as a punctilious person I have to point out this fact!
Technically, it hasn't... This conclusion is based on a illusory impression! The overall in Europe is higher than Wii u but just because of the UK... Xbox one is slaying the uk, it's not doing better than wii u in Europe essentially, you can't say that in general when the achievement  of xboxone is owing to just one european market, the biggest one... What if xbox one wasn't that extremely appealing in the UK? 

Vgc has xbox one at 4.1m  and at the impressive 2.1m in the UK so the 51% of it's european sales total are from the U.K, which is a spectacular occurence!

Wii u is still above and doing better than xbox one in France and Germany, and from old leaks on gaf the same happens in Spain and Italy! Wii u has the infelicity of doing terribly in the UK, otherwise the european sales total would be equal with xbox one's!

Xbox one is  too much uk -centric...

 

The fact is the Wii U is doing worse in europe than the xbox and it was out longer.  Xbox will be a lot further ahead too when all is said and done.  Nit picking certain markets is pointless.  The fact is both are small in the EU but xbox is a lot smaller.
