Slippy... Slappy.. Swimy? Swinson? Swanson? Oh here it is... Samsonite! I was WAY OFF.

But seriously.. Gamestop's waiting list number of 500k totally threw off my prediction, thanks a lot Gamestop! Guess they just haven't fulfilled many of their orders yet.. Or maybe the sales period only covered a day or two? Whatever.

Regardless, not bad considering Wii only had like 50k more during its launch. Anyway, unless you're the Vita or the Virtual Boy, at launch generally you are going to get a complete or near sell through from all the hardcore fans/early adopters, so these results aren't really telling either way. Won't really get a clear picture of how Wii U will ultimately fare until several months in, possibility even over a year.
