From Nintendo Quartly Reports: (MK8 = 2.82mil Shipped guys, no debates!)

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, for “Nintendo 3DS (3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS),” titles such as “Kirby: Triple Deluxe” and “Tomodachi Life,” released in May and June respectively in the United States and Europe, gained wide popularity. As a consequence, the global sales of the “Nintendo 3DS” hardware and software reached 0.82 million units and 8.57 million units respectively.

With respect to “Wii U,” “Mario Kart 8,” released globally in May, marked 2.82 million units in sales. The worldwide sales of the“Wii U” hardware and software were 0.51 million units and 4.39 units respectively mainly due to a lack of other hit titles this quarter.

The operating loss was 9.4 billion yen because total selling, general and administrative expenses 

including fixed expenses exceeded gross profit. Ordinary loss was 9.9 billion yen and net loss was 9.9 billion yen.

That is pretty kick ass relative to wiiU hardware sales

Just so you know 9 billion yen is about 88m USD

i would link the Polygon article to laugh at it but i don't want to link trash

Of course it's the quarter. Great number and pretty much inline with what vgchartz shows, vgchartz could be a little high even, if we consider digital sales and the fact that games at launch will be stocked up more by retailers (especially when they do 1.2 million first week).
