VGC DATA For Wii U: 175.1K YTD; 467.9K LTD (also note that there isn't data for 29th on VGC yet)

So hardware was kinda overtracked but that was expected since many consoles are overtracked in France (overall gen8 home+handheld was ~150K+ overtracked from January-September in France). At least MK8 isn't ;)
