This week really tells us so much about the Wii U in Japan.

What were people expecting?

More, a lot of people were extremely sure that XCX would do over 100k.

But I'm also talking about hardware, in march the PS4 had several weeks above 40k and was always above 30k thanks to game releases, showing that the main thing missing for the system is the software support. This week is Golden week, the Wii U had 2 relatively big releases, one exclusive that came with a bundle, and the system can barely scratch past 20k and can only barely outdo the PS4, that's just really telling imo.

It's telling that you're as nonsensical as ever. with digital, xeno x is at or at least extremely close to 100k. playturd4k had a lot of releases in those weeks, wii u only had one in golden week (dragon quest is an expansion, not a new game). just your usual whining and hating.

With digital it could certainly be possible that Xenoblade X is above 100k. That is a significant advantage over the first Xenoblade, in that case. On a vastly smaller user-base and in an age in which Japanese gamers are playing mobile and handhelds, this is pretty good. Not excellent, but pretty good. It will be interesting to see what the legs of Xenoblade X will be like. I can see it doing something like 25k -> 15k-> 10k-> 5k -> 1-2k for the rest of the year, to end somewhere around 160k-200k lt without digital sales.

Highly unlikely that digital is more than 10%.

PS Vita did 18.5k and PS4 did 19.8k. Good numbers, expected this numbers!
Wii U only 22.9k? This is bad considering how big Xenoblade X should be in Japan. Xenoblade also hasn't managed 90k... Anyway, this will be the last week in Japan for Wii U where it have beaten PS4 in it's life.

This is a pretty foolish statement. The Xbox 360 outsold PS3 more than one week, the Wii U will have weeks where it outperforms PS4.

What the heck? How does Wii U only do 20K with 2 significant game releases and a bundle?

it's only one significant release. dragon quest x expansion can only be bought by people who already got the game

With digital sales that sure isn't out of question. It would only need 15k digital sales, which would be 14.9% of total first week sales in the scenario that it sells 101k. That is about a 34% improvement over the first game's sales on a platform with a userbase of over 10 million in Japan. 

I honestly very highly doubt that 15% of the people bought the game digital, especially considering its file size in comparison to the Wii Us harddrive size.

I  would give you the reason but normally digital sales on Japan are 5% - 15% and Nintendo said that Xenoblade digital sales were high, better than expected. I think 10k is possible. Also it was top1 on the eshop for several weeks.
