Wii U Fails to Beat Previous Launch

The Wii U sold 425,000 units in its first week of availability.  This falls short of the Wii's launch by 50,000 units.  This doesn't seem to be a shock to the gaming community.  The Wii was the first really good motion gaming software that had come out so it is understandable that it did better in sales.
I think over time as people buy the Wii U and testing it out for themselves the sales will even out to be roughly the same as the original Wii.  Only time will tell for this console which hopes to turn Nintendo into the powerhouse that it once was.
