Those ... aren't exactly impressive sales. They're pretty horrible actually for a system that should have a sell through of about 5 million.

10% attach rate for MH isn't that bad.
To get a 10% attac rate on PS3/360 you'd need 8m sales.

Yeah Monster Hunter is OK, but it probably got a nice boost from being in the Japanese launch window. The rest of that list though ... yikes. The odd thing about the Wii U, is genre types you would suspect would do well on the Wii U, like Wii Fit U, Mario & Sonic, Rayman Legends, Skylanders, Just Dance ... aren't performing very well either.

Wii U is still a bit too pricey to really bring in the Just Dance/Skylanders crowd.
|
Yet, it's only $50 more than the Wii was for a long period of time.
More likely the Just Dance crowd doesn't need a new console period.

And what is the Just Dance crowd going to do when Ubisoft stops making it for the Wii? They need a new console if they want to keep playing the games. A lot of them will switch to Kinect interface with the Xbone, but a lot of them will stay with the familiarity of the Wiimote, on the cheaper Wii U. You can't expect that many of them to think it's just a novelty and never want another Just Dance game, can you? Sales would have declined much sooner if people didn't want more Just Dance. They want it, they just aren't ready to pay that much for it if they don't have to. So far, Wii U is leading next gen Just Dance sales by a comfortable margin. It's never going to be a top ten seller for Wii U, but it'll probably get at least one million+ title by the end of the gen.

I think Just Dance will be more or less dead in two years ... look at its sales trajectory ... it's an awful lot like Guitar Hero, peaking with Guitar Hero III and then steady descent into the bargain bin.
In other words, the Just Dance audience will fizzle out with the Wii.
