This was obvious for anyone who saw nintendos financials... considering where we are and how big od a deal it was then everyobe here should have. 300K on shelves was way too low

It's like X-Box in Japan, which is also a big market.  You have to focus on where you have the best chance.  The Wii U might actually succeed in NA, but there are only so many resources, and they shouldn't be focused on more than a minimum in the UK.

Does that mean that the 900k-ish we have it at now is potentially way too high? It it overtracked in other, big countries in Europe, that is. That's a fairly large margin of error.
I can see the PS3 being overtracked by some hundred k as well in Europe, difficult to track sales in so many contries.
Selling 150k in the UK in one year is pretty bad, failing to sell 1 million in Europe after a year is downright terrible.

And people still think there is nochance of it being discontinued?

It will be discontinued or rebranded if its down YOY. It's that simple.

Like Jason Rubin said "Nintendo Is Irrelevant As A Hardware Manufacturer In The Console Business”

I said that when we got the PS4 numbers this morning, somehow it went largely ignored that time

It managed 150k in a Year with no 8th gen competition. Now that it has competition and the 7th gen systems will be getting cheaper for the mass market, things can only get worse really.

Its amazing really that they can go from Wii momentum to this.

Dunno where the 600k came from, they confirmed XB1 is ahead of it though, that's at 170k, they said WiiU is at 150k.

so, no reasons?
