Nintendo moves over 300K Wii U consoles in Japan after first week

Wii U seventh alltime console launch in Japan with 308,570 units

Nintendo had a so-so stateside Wii U debut, but with 300,000 units chalked up after a week in Japan, it's become the seventh best hardware launch in that country, according to Famitsu and Enterbrain.

Oh, and in case you didn't hear, the colossal clamshell is getting its very own charging cradle too, sold separately for 1,200 yen ($15).
