Forgot about that bundle. In my defense, I have very little interest in WiiU at this time but can hope for them to see some decent bumps with things coming.
As for Sonic, I want to play but WiiU is just a low priority right now.

Good hold for Vita. If Wii U doesn't sell 20k next week after all this......

Ahem. It dropped by just over a thousand units.
Because it's a fucking champion.

We're re-defining the word "champion" this week, eh?
I don't think the Vita's baseland is around 25,000 though. Maybe around 16,000 or 17,000.
When is Vita TV coming out? That's an really interesting concept, especially since Micro-consoles don't really exist in Japan and Asia at large yet.

Only because they're intelligent people. They know better than to buy Sonic games nowadays.

Yeah. I figured it'd maybe've done a few thousand on 3DS or PS3 like Lost World 3DS did but checking the December 2011 threads it's nowhere to be see.
e: Actually, I was looking at the wrong week. In the top 50 the PS3 version was at #37 and 3DS at #48 so I guess they technically charted, though there's no numbers for them given those positions.
Oh, I didn't now champions settled for a distant second place.
Same here - hopefully the little fellah can gain some traction. Looking very much forward to seeing how the Vita TV does!
Settle down, kids.

What's the contributing factor to the poor performance of Wii U games? Existing owners aren't even bothering to buy the new releases.

Jesus Wii U.
Honestly, Pokemon, and Mon Hun 4. Nintendo is competing with themselves at this point.
The PS3 high sellers are targeting a different gaming demographic.
That's actually a very good question.

The past few weeks, we've had this reaction. I swear it's like suddenly people don't understand what happens before a price drop/bundle/re-purposing.
All a champion is is two stages below Mega.
Slow week. Not much else to harp on.
Actually, I'm pretty sure most of the Sonic games on Nintendo consoles have done much better, so it's also deserved.

There's only 5 existing owners?
It's a combination of factors. As stated before, Sonic games don't do well in Japan. Secondly, the Wii U installbase is minimal at the moment.
I'll eat crow if WiiU passes 10K next week because of these bundles

Next week will be the interesting week. This week has gone about as expected.
People just like to point it out every week as if it's surprising.

Yeah, I'm not sure why people are surprised Sonic didn't chart. Like yeah, the WiiU is a major commercial disaster, but please, Sonic could only muster 5k on the 3DS. It's been irrelevant in Japan for a good number of years now...

Can't wait for next week so the bundle excuse can finally be out the window, of course if they don't do well we'll all be on the board for the 3D World wait train.
So the 3DS is God then? Honestly, you'd be the champion in this case. Champion of the Vita.
I'll also eat crow if VITA outsells 3DS on the week of FFX HD is released in Japan.

GTA is impressing me.
Any one has the numbers for previous GTA skus? V might be the best selling GTA of all time in Japan.

10K? Crow will be served lol.
Expectations along the lines of 40 - 50 K are a lot more reasonable for statements like yours.

10 threads about BF4 being sub 1080, now people are upset if WiiU is sub 3000.

I don't think GTA5 should be that surprising when one takes into account the kind of insane sales it's seeing worldwide. It's the fastest selling game of all time. Of course in retrospect it's easy to say this, but I don't think anyone saw 29 million copies shipped in 2 months.
FreedomFighter

Why not. Won't be the last time you eat crow this year anyways.
Well, the last releases weren't the kind that light up the charts in Japan, to be honest. I don't think anyone was eager to play Rayman and Sonic... And those were all of the releases that the Wiiu saw on october.
I think if the bundles don't go well, Nintendo is screwed. One more month of bad sales, no releases till Mario (and even him could only push the system a little better)... Nintendo better pray to God.

Did Wii U kill the Sonic franchise?

The Sonic franchise was already dead in Japan. I don't understand why people were expecting anything big from it, especially considering it also tanked on the 3DS.

Folks really need to take a look at Sonic game numbers in Japan before posting... Really.
This is getting ridiculous.
