Wii U sold 57k in a 5 week Januray NPD period... not even the $599 PS3 reached those lows... (73k was the lowest it ever did in an NPD) not saying that the ps3 had a good launch, just that the Wii U's is ever worse.... I remember the NPD threads on neogaf being ps3 vs Gameboy Advance to see what would sell more lol..
Also hit sub 10k in Japan even faster than the Vita did...
360 is going to overtake the Wii for American sales sometime this year, they really dropped the ball with the Wii to Wii U transition, Ps2 still sold another 50 million after the ps3 came out...

NSMB Wii U was a launch title, to be blunt it shits over all 3 series you just mentioned when it comes to sales.
vgchartz figures (lol)
NSMB Wii = 26.65 million
vs
Smash Wii = 11.54 million
Galaxy = 10.71
Galaxy 2 = 6.99 million
Twilight Princess = 6.74 million
Skyward Sword = 3.61 million
People forget that they had 3d mario, zelda and smash all along, didn't help them much in Japan with the n64 where it got smashed by the PSX and outsold by the Saturn, didn't help them with the Gamecube where they got relegated to third place by a newcomer.

Good of Capcom to do that, always thought they didn't want to do off screen so it wouldn't compete with 3ds sales.. still gonna get it on 3ds though.
