Yes, the numbers for the WiiU in January and February were pretty low. But, I think that it does make sense for a new console with practically no games available to sell less than a mature console with a catalogue of hundreds of games. As I said in my previous comment, I think it is still too early to know if the WiiU will be successful or not.
Also, it seems like the numbers you mention are for North America only, were the XBox 360 has been most successful. If you look at the global numbers, the WiiU still sold less than the XBox 360 but no so bad as it looks when looking only at North America:
XBox 360 January + February: about 850 thousand units http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_yoy.php?reg=Global&start_year=2012&end_year=2013&console=X360 http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_yoy.php?reg=Global&star...
WiiU January + February: about 400 thousand units http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_yoy.php?reg=Global&start_year=2011&end_year=2013&console=WiiU http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_yoy.php?reg=Global&star...
