The Wii was able to push out 2,216,902 total sales according to vgcharts from late November 2006 - December 30, 2006.

Actually, The Wii sold almost 3m in that time frame (2,954,781):

And people need to remember that the Wii suffered extreme shortages; with enough stock available the Wii would have likely sold over 4m by the end of 2006.  Problem is, the WiiU won't have enough stock to make this prediction come true, no matter how well received/priced it is... even though Vita will probably have less than a 6m total install base by the end of the year.
