People say Vita is dead and doomed. However it manages to outsell Wii U in Europe. Then how doomed and dead is Wii U?

WiiU isn't bad in Europe. They are selling what they are getting there. I have no idea why people can't understand that. Nintendo can't manufacture more than 400k per week. If they could, they would have capacity to manufacture more than 20million units per year (400k*52weeks) which would be a stupid level of over-capacity. Nintendo is allocating more units to North America and Japan right now, just like they did with Wii. The only number to look at with WiiU is the total sales, not where the shipments are going. WiiU is selling what they can make, and will continue to do so until all of the Nintendo Nuts have their system. After the first 5-10 million units we will see if there is mass-market appeal for SuperWii.

Wii U is heavily supply-constrained in Europe, while Vita is available in mass quantities as systems have been sitting on shelves collecting dust for months now.  Pretty huge difference, there.

sperrico, is Pikmin even a system seller?

There are different tiers of first party software for nintendo system, you only have a distinct few that are legimite system sellers, the rest fall in to medicore sellers such as those 3 games you listed.

For the 100th time, NO! Every online retailer has WiiU in stock and discounts it by 10-15%. And look Micromania even has ZombiU packs back in stock.

My local retailers in Paris have had WiiUs all the time and here in the south of France (I'm at my parents') there are WiiUs too (both black and white).

Those crazy Europeans with their 'We are the world' narrow view. 

I'm not sure why you'd even bother with an obvious nutty post, as in my opinion it's way more productive to speak to somebody who seems rational.

Can someone do a quick comparison of European WiiU to Vita price ratio vs US or Japan? The Supply constraint theory is intriguing but only if Wii U's price must also be relatively higher to justify the supposedly widely available stock.  What I mean is by shipping less of Wii U, Nintendo simply sets a higher price to manage the quantity demanded.  No offense to Europe, but I'm sure to Nintendo if they must sacrifice one region, it ain't gonna be motherland or the U.S.

I'm a proud European and I'm ashamed, just like you.

We have really lost taste when it comes to consoles.

Wii U is a new console. And by "new" I mean 31 days old, today.

The price is not outrageous at all. Especially with that masterpiece of a controller.
