I'd imagine the Japanese launch to be much better, perhaps over 300k.

I could be wrong... But i remember reading awhile ago that either there weren`t that many consoles available or that the MH pack was in short supply. If it`s just the latter than i guess you could be right.

I thought it was the MH pack which was struggling. I'm just thinking with MH, Mario and DQ all there at launch, it should do well. The Vita launched to over 400k in Japan in a similar week of the year with a far less interesting lineup for the Japanese market; admittadly it is a handheld. With no supply constraints the WiiU should be able to do around 75% of that at least.

DQ will only be released in Spring in Japan.
So, for launch it will be mainly Mario, NintendoLand and MH.
300k seems like a good number, the problem is if Nintendo isn`t able to produce that many for launch. But maybe it can. I`m beggining to think Nintendo sacrificed Europe to have enough consoles for the US and Japan. If you are correct, than Europe really was sacrificed! :D
Still, i feel besides these 3 games, japanese gamers won`t have that many games they will want to play afterwards. It seems like there`s too many western type games for launch.
