23k with one of the biggest games (or the biggest?) in Japan this year.
PS4 and 3DS are doing such numbers weekly in Japan.

Why didn't PS4 do it this week then? PS4 sales havre been inching back to their 16-17k baseline that they were at before DQH, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy Type-0, and Yakuza released. 

Also Splatoon, Fire Emblem X SMT, Mario Maker, and Starfox all have potential to be bigger than/just as big as Xenoblade Chronicles X in Japan.

I don't think anyone ever said that Xenoblade would ever be the biggest (or even one of the biggest) games in Japan this year. Not in terms of sales. There are numerous games that will do better on Wii U this year (even another RPG).

23k is very good if average weekly numbers are 7k.

Comparing it with last week Wii U numbers? Yes.
Comparing it with PS4/3DS numbers? No. 




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

It is good comparable to the market. It is bad because the Market is horrible.

Comparing it with last week Wii U numbers? Yes.
Comparing it with PS4/3DS numbers? No. 

PS4 sold less than WiiU this week (and it's first half of golden week) and 3DS didn't set the world on fire. Overall a pretty mediocre week in hardware sales. That this is golden week shows a problem.

I wouldn't say they're bad, but they aren't good either.
