Oh have we? What do you mean problem with the source?
Seece you are making a mistake...The 500k LTD wii u is from late November!
My French is bad (even worse than my English, haha), but I think they just said that the Wii U crossed the 500k mark during the holiday season, no specific Wii U numbers.
It was announced before Christmas that they sold 490k as of Nov. 30.
They just wanted to say that X1 hasn't passed Wii U yet, no new Wii U numbers.

They give no source for X1 numbers, just say allegedly around 420k. They provide links for PS4 and Wii u numbers but none for X1.

Go seece,correct your mistake!
Seems like a bad source but it is interesting to see that the Wii U is still beating the xbox in a few countries like Germany and France.
Btw i checked if their info on a 399.99€ X1 bundle with 5 games was true. Apparently so

Only lasted one week. But surely boosted sales.

Nintendo still is a very good brand in europe for parents (Most young parents are ex NES/SNES players) and Xbox never did great in continental Europe.
Also terrible source, figaro is already bad as a mainstream liberal conservative paper, but it's even worse when it comes to pop culture.
